Hello All,
Been reading for a while now, as a novice I love this web site, but I seem to have found a question that I can't find and answer to with the search feature.
I have a beautiful Splash Old English rooster (at least that what we think he is) with a group of larger hens. Originally we got what we had hoped for was a hen and roo to breed, but have two Old English roos... He takes really good care of the hens, much better than my other lazy roo. The hens are australorp, rhode island red, ameraucanas, and a black and a red sexlink, and silver laced wyandottes. I know he is trying hard to mate with these birds that are easily 3 times his size, my question is can he? Is it of course he can, but with limited sucess? Or should I expect fetilized eggs all the time? Thanks in advance.
