      Great question!

      We don’t force the chickens to mate, we usually let them move around freely and choose when to mate. Some of my experiments involved placing groups of 3 males and 3 females in an enclosure and see who mates with who. The group of 3 males and 3 females is reflective of the natural group size of free ranging red junglefowl.
