Yup! The fertilized eggs will have a little "bull's eye" on the yolk, do some research around here, then when you eat eggs, you can get an idea of what your fertility rate is!

OK! Thank you so much for all of the help you have given me! I really appreciate it... I think I now have a chicken fever!!!
 
Does anyone know of a breed of hens that I can get that will overpower my silkie roosters? I want to have them for laying along with my breeding silkies. I do not want to have to have two seperate coops if I don't have to.
 
Aren't silkie roosters bantam size? He may not be able to hit the mark to fertilize your standard hens anyways. I know my Japanese bantam tries but can't do it.

They may get along fine. How big are your coop and run?

My neighbor keeps silkies mixed with his standards, no problems. He doesn't have any reds but he has wyandottes, americanas, barred rocks, and a few other breeds.

I don't know the measurements for my coop, but I do know that it holds up to twelve chickens. I think I am going to get another hybrid and see how it goes. Thanks, and wish me luck!
