Hi everyone. First off, I'm new to raising chickens. I bought six red sex-links in April and have enjoyed them so much! Yesterday, my 9 year old brought home three bantam leghorns, one of which is a rooster. The little stinker (my son) knew one was a rooster but wanted to play a trick on me. Luckily he got them from friends of the family so he was told he could bring the rooster back if it was a problem. I didn't want a rooster but the darn thing is just so cute and hasn't been noisy yet. And he's kept the coop in order, too! Miss Bossy (one of my sex-links) was trying to peck at the new ones and he just puffed up and showed her who's boss! They've all seemed to be getting along pretty good already. My question is....is there any way that my rooster (Fluff) can fertilize my sex-links? And what about the other two bantams? Will they just keep having babies or can I use the egg if I get it the same day she lays it? Sorry if these seem like silly questions. I just wasn't prepared for these three new cutie pies! Thanks for any help!
