breeding silky chickens

[silki girl]

I have 25 chickens but only 4 of those are silky's. I want to breed the 3 silky hens with my silky rooster but how do I do that? do I build them there own coop? my rooster has been crowing for a month now and no fertile eggs.

How old? My last silkie cockerel crowed months before he was old enough to consider breeding.

how old dose a rooster have to be to breed?

So you have a relatively young cockerel. How old are the females?

Depends on breed. Silkies usually take longer to sexually mature

 

[silki girl]

all the females are about a year and 2 months old

He's at breeding age.
