manley I have not experienced any problems with cherryfinch hen fighting. Up to Saturday, I have had 4 hens in a 3 X 1.8 X 18 metre aviary. But I have had cocks that were chasing each other. Do you have enough nests?

Hi plenty of nest sites but i wasn't providing nesting material due to it being winter i decided to sell a one pair in the end it seemed the cock birds were fighting
