Yes. Depending on where you are, breeding season starts in the spring. I have had 8 month old hens and toms that produced fertile eggs for me in their first spring. Normally breeding starts in the middle of February here but it is running late this year due to the cold temperatures and lots of snow. Usually I will get fertile eggs starting in mid March.
