They're last years' chicks... so ~ 1 year old.
And they're just starting to lay or is it that the eggs are just coming fertile?
No, they've been laying all season. I had to look at my notes... Junior was hatched 2009, so he's ~ 2, the girls were hatched in 2010. I set every egg I got from 3 hens since January (~ 150), and not a one was fertile.
I'm giving my roo the stink-eye...
