    Sterile Rooster???

    I have a Speckled Sussex rooster who will be 6 months old next week. My girls, who are the same age, have been laying for about a month now. So far, I have not gotten any fertile eggs. Could he be sterile, or is he still young and just missing the mark, or something like that? Thanks!
