Hey how many sets can a hen lay before you guys take the pair apart! How long after can you put the hen with a new mate?

kopetsa,
I've actually had a hen lay up to 15 rounds in a season with 3 different cocks utilizing foster feeders. If a hen is regular, she will lay a clutch of eggs every 10-12 days apart. A couple of days of separation between mates should be more than enough time to get her going again.

In the past I have not liked going over 4 rounds with a hen, but thats just me. Maybe you can breed more but I don't like too. Thats about 1/3 of the year. Thats plenty on your hens.
