Last June I incubated 9 Brahma eggs and if I remember right 7 out of the 9 made it. 3 turned out to be roo's and in dec I got rid of 2 of them to a nice fella who had a famr and plenty of girlies to keep them happy. I kept my fav out of the lot and he normally come up to be petted as he is normally a lovey but since a neighbour decided to claim I had loads of roosters (which I don't) I had a letter about a noise issue cuz I supposedly had so many roos which I don't and the complaint was made after I got rid of the other boys it did my head in one went off then the next and then the last ya no not my thing one is enough and I would not except my neighbours to deal with that many either. I live in a more rual area to.

But like I said someone (and only one as they have to act on even 1 complaint here in the UK) and since then my male has been a bit aggressive when he normally would demand to be fussed and fed from my hand I know males can be aggressive but he was never like this before and like over night he's more aggressive and crows more. I was wondering if this might be because he is breeding with my girls and he don't want me to take them or something silly.

So my question is at 7-8 months is he sexual mature? if so what are the chances that the eggs my 13-14 hens are laying are fertile?
 
When the hens start laying the eggs are getting fertle I have a light Brahma She started laying at 7-8 weeks
laying at 7-8 weeks old or laying 7-8 weeks after a male got to her? just want to check that my understanding is right.. as I'm hoping to get a few feritle hatching eggs from him before he lives me in 1-2 weeks time for his new home.
 
test it out crank up the incubator and put the eggs in for 6 days candle them if they aren't fertile then you will not get them anytime soon but if they are then you can know!
LOL thats what I'm doing thought of it right after I posted. just need to clean it and put it on. is it selfish of me that I hope that they are fertile? I have some lovely girls both pure brahma 2 brahma x silkie girls, a lavender aurcana and some hybrid egg layers including 1 blue egger.
