Very difficult. We have paired human imprinted capes but it has taken over six years and involved introducing another pair to make a foursome. Also it would take a male cape that is not a "wimpy" hand fed and that knew how to stand up to her and be dominant when the time came. Many males are not. You could try breaking your bond with her and then looking for a suitable male, but even that is difficult unless you put the hen on loan for six months or so. Good luck and the longer you wait, the more "birdlike and nesty she may become." This could help when a play nesting log is introduced.
