14 week old roo mating?

He is starting to do his "thing" with a couple of the girls. Not sure if he is just practicing or actually succeding, my ? is if he is doing his "job" correctly will the hens first eggs be fertile?

My 3 year old wanted me to post this.LOL Seriously can they do that at that age?

He can try. Mine started practicing around 10 weeks old. They haven't figured out how to hold on longer than 2 seconds though, and it takes five seconds to accomplish the task.

If he succeeds and your hens are laying, then yes the eggs could be fertile; but at 14 weeks old sounds like you have a couple of more weeks before your hens start to lay.

My guy is 16 weeks. He already has a favorite he trys with. But she is not ready and fights him off. He is just like any other teen male.

He does do the wing dance, I love to sit out side the run and just watch him do his little dance.
