Tue Martine Coop. 
One way of mating squab breeders is to turn cocks and hens in equal number into the same 
pen. The mating coop is used when the breeder wishes to pair a certain male with a certain 
female. The above mating coop is divided by a partition. The cock is placed on one side of 
the partition, the hen on the other, as pictured, They are left thus for a day or two to tease 
each other. Then raise the partition, or take it out, and allow them to approach each other 
when they usually will be found to have formed an attachment. This being the case, they 
may be put into the large pen with the other birds, where they will find a nest box and go to 
heusekeeping. If they fight when the partition is removed, try again, or try other mates. The 
coop pictured above is two feet long, one foot wide and one foot deep.
