Answer
Hello Barry,

Do you plan on breeding?  A male & female really should not be bred until they are around 2 years old.  
They can try to mate as early as 6-8 months which is just too young.  
The males will often headbob to the females, turning their beards & chests dark.  If the female is receptive, she will usually arm wave to him, & assuming they are old enough, most likely will mate with no problem.
You do not want to house them together all year round though, just for a brief period of time to mate & that is it.  Housing a male & female together all year can greatly stress the female out, & cause egg binding issues.
