Hi,
This is the first year we have had a rooster with our small flock.
What is the best way to prevent the rooster from fertalizing eggs. The flock and rooster came from the same group of chicks so they have allways been together, but his main purpose was to protect, i never thought about him fertalizing eggs. We dont want chicks at this time we mainly want eggs to eat and share with neighbors.
Do i need to seperate him from the hens when they start laying?
can we just eat the fertal eggs? sounds a little gross. But i am new to this
Thank you
lenny
