Okay genius, nobody asked for your sarcasm. And he is in with the hen but none of the eggs have been fertilized
It wasn't sarcasm at all. I just assumed from your initial post that you had him separate; it was a legitimate question. You'd be surprised the basics many people simply don't know, it's silly to assume everyone knows the standard information.
I've never heard of someone fiddling with their roosters in the name of AI when the roosters also had access to the hens. If he was rare and special I'd expect it, but for a common enough breed, it sounds like too much trouble for a replaceable and faulty male, as well as running the risk of breeding animals with sexual attraction to humans (which is far more common than most people are aware of).
This quote of yours is a bit of a strange one, so I had to ask for clarification as well as point out the incorrect english which made a joke out of it even more than the funny description you gave (no offense intended).
Quote:
If you've had him with the hens for that long, and he's not bred, trying AI is likely not going to work nor would it be wise to propagate another individual who lacks something fundamental to survival of their genes. If he can't or won't mate, let him die without offspring, lol.. He's faulty.
Have you watched him? Does he ever mate?
Maybe he's homosexual, it does happen. Anyway. Best wishes with all that.
EDIT: (noticed you said 'hen' not 'hens')
Quote: If you only have one hen you need to obtain at least one more before you can say for sure he's infertile, and even then that's not a 100% guarantee. Also, how are you determining that the eggs are infertile? Have you brooded them for at least a week?
