Yah I think that might have been it. I have a silkie hen and a couple other bantums but I don't think they were letting him do "the dance". He's always been pretty dopey and truthfully only started crowing once our olive egger roo started crowing (despite being almost 4 years old).
Yay! Thanks so much! I've had a silkie rooster since I got chickens and no matter how hard he's tried to mate my girls they either don't let him or he's just not fertile. I've tried sticking eggs under broodies before with no luck. Since our olive egger roo came into maturity I've seen a little...
I'm wanting to hatch some eggs from my welsummer girls that are mated with my olive egger roo. Can anyone tell me if these eggs are fertilized? I know that they say look for a bullseye pattern but even before we had a rooster I could see the little spot and I'm just not seeing too much...
