A good rooster - good grief

@ Pastel The Rooster - why do you keep him? Perhaps not, but I think your turn is coming, will you keep him then? I would not.

Ludwig was fertilizing eggs between 6 and 7 months -- well before Rameses was ready to mate.

I did, just ONCE, see him "hen-surfing" when, as a 7-month old, he was attempting to mate with the Brahma in my avatar who wouldn't even squat for me. When she really started running he got off and didn't pursue her.

(Someone is putting muddy footprints on her back within the last 2 weeks though so one of the boys has finally managed to impress her).

A shame you started checking. A few little lives lost.

Well I thought you said you checked for fertility and saw bullseyes.

They did.

 

[Doriss]

They did.

Well then you've lost those potential chicks, haven't you?

No. Most people won't incubate without knowing that their eggs are fertile. So those eggs wouldn't have been incubated anyways most likely

OK, it's just that I keep quail, and I love 'em so much I wouldn't want to risk losing even one!

Incidentally, I've read that more people than you'd think do have an aversion to cracking eggs open to check, for the same reason.
