Hi everyone,
So I have ended up with two barred rock roosters. They were hatched April 12 and started breeding behaviour two weeks ago. But I have serama hens which have accidentally ended up with the roosters trying to breed on them a couple of times. It feels wrong to me but I thought I would ask you. Are my hens eggs now fertilized. Like can they even breed together cause the rooster is at least 4 times her size. We would never intentionally breed them but seeing as it’s already happened I’m just wondering if we could try hatching their eggs? I don’t really know how chicken breeding works but it feels like their parts would not match up. ?We really love the serama breed and don’t know anyone near us with a serama rooster so what’s the harm in a cross breed if they’ve already bread?ive attached photos of me holding our serama hens and our smaller rooster just for size reference
