Hey there,
My male and female have been in a breeding cabinet for a week now. The hen keeps going into the nestbox. When they mate the male just stands on her back and rubs his tale under hers he doesn't wrap his wings around her so could she still have some fertile eggs? :S :S :S

I am fairly certain that the wing wrapping isn't essential.

Wing wrapping is for balance so if he can do his thing without wings you've got quite the little acrobat!!! lmao! If they've been mating you should still be able to get fertile eggs.
