I have 2 hens separate from the flock (I'm guessing I'll do it for about 2 weeks) because I want them to get rid of their random fertilized eggs from whatever rooster (I have 5). I plan on putting their "mates" with them once I think their eggs are no longer fertile so I can get purebred eggs but...what if they don't lay many (or any) eggs in these 2 weeks? Will I still be ok after this 2 week "cleaning out" period. It's only been 2 days, I realize they may be a little stressed, but they haven't laid any eggs yet. Any advise would be helpful.
