Hi All. Well, I brought home a little billy today, so I can do my breeding at home. The little guy is almost 7 weeks old. I built a nice little barn for him, and his own yard...I thought it was a nice little setup. Well, from the minute he stepped foot in the door, nonstop crying. His fence line borders with the 3 girls, so he can see them. Two of them are pregnant, and the other one is tooooo young, and not ready to become a mommy yet, so I wanted to keep him away from her. Well, I succombed to his cries, and let him in with the girls, and he is as happy as a clam. Now, my question, how long can he stay with the girls before he starts doing "his thing"? As I said, I don't want the little one bred yet. Any suggestions on how to make him more content, on his own side of the fence??? Thanks.
