They're still crowing louder than ever.

I guess that means they're still breeding.

The only way to find out is to do fertility checks

I do it once a month and record the fertility.

If they're still crowing, they're still breeding. I'm about 2-3 hours north of you and mine quit breeding and laying about 2 weeks ago. I'm still getting 1-2 eggs a day but none of the males have the blush on their faces and I haven't heard a crow in quite some time now.

By setting the eggs or opening them and checking for the bullseye

Cut off the top of the egg, dump in a white bowl, and have a spoon ready!

Look in the yolk for the a white dot (not the bladosterm! ) . If it is just a dot, it is unfertile, if it has a dot and a ring (bullseye) it is fertile.

Hope this helps!
