So mine are set to start laying about the middle of September. I'm hoping to start incubating some of their eggs just after Thanksgiving. Is it safe to say the hens will be mature enough and the roosters doing their fertilizing job at that point?
Hey!
If I have young birds just starting to lay, what's the bare minimum time to let them lay and mature before I can start safely incubating and hatching their eggs? How soon after have y'all started doing so, and how did things turn out?
