i have recently put a Rooster In with my 8 hens. Is it safe to assume he will mate with all of them? I know they can sometimes have favorites, but will he ‘spread the wealth’ so to speak? Thanks.

My older hens will not let the young rooster mate with them. Only those his age (1 yr) and the little bantam hen he saved from a hawk accept him.
Hens are just under 2 years and rooster is a year. He has been in with them for 6 days and all are getting along great. I have confirmed one egg as being fertile already.
Sounds good. Have you spent any time observing them?Hens are just under 2 years and rooster is a year. He has been in with them for 6 days and all are getting along great. I have confirmed one egg as being fertile already.
First for them.Is he their first rooster or is he a replacement?
