I just responded on the Brahma face book page. Will try to respond here later for those interested that are not on the other site.

Still working on fertility with mine. Switched the rosters to see if I had the 4 year old and 2 year old mixed up, trimmed some more.

I just noticed! 21 Reds. I am a mathematical genius. It has been really warm here most of the Winter. Everything but my RC reds are laying well, fertility is very good. I did trim vents and ivomeced all my breeders. I am using testro-boost pills on the two cocks I am using. Got them from twin city. Really seem to help as cocks are usually slow to good fertility. Can't remember what they are called. You can find them on their website.

Clicked on breeding aids and found testo fortifier capsule, I think this is it.

Do these work? I do i give them? There was zero info on that site about them. I have a not so horny Orpington that needs a boost. Tia!

You can refer to my last post. Anecdotal at best I understand. They are inexpensive AND SEEM to have helped the fertility of the two cock-birds I am using. The pills are the only thing I am doing differently this year? Early season fertility has been un-heard of in my experience with bantam Brahma cocks. FWIW Here it is February yet and I have chicks on the ground out of cocks. Unusual......
