Breeding

[Cameron_8]

Next week, MOST eggs will probably have chicks with him as the father.

It depends on whether you want most of the chicks to have him as a father, or whether you want to be absolutely certain about who the father is.

3 weeks or a month is based on needing to be very sure.

Do you think I will be able to tell his chicks apart from my other roos?

Maybe.

What other males do you have?
And what color are the hens?
Descriptions can work, photos are even better.

With that many males being able to breed them I'd say wait at least three weeks. Four is the upward limit I've waited to be sure. I have a few eggs set right now that I went too early on, but mostly it was a fertility test. I probably won't be able to use any of them.
