So I'm trying to get a group of 3 villagers, including one shepherd, to begin breeding while I finish the construction on my new castle. I have had success before using a setup very similar to the one shown. Initially I just grouped the villagers in a rudimentary pen with a few crops. The 'census' villager was placed between 8 doors a little ways away.
After having no success, even after trading and feeding them, I added a door-less structure, more crops, and more room. It's been hours now and even though the villagers have repeatedly been shown to be 'willing' none of them have hearts.
Can anyone tell what I might be doing wrong or what I could do better? Is the census villager too far away? Any help is awesome, would love to get them working soon.

You need more valid doors
The population needs to be under 35 percent of valid doors. Also, as you have stated, the villagers need to be willing to breed.
This is essentially a guide of how to breed villagers, and it should help with your breeding problems.
