   My Rhode island red rooster is 16 weeks old and i am wondering is he old enough to fertilize eggs. He crows every morning.

   Im not exacally sure.... physically he probably could, but if he doesnt "mount" your hens your not gunna have fertilized eggs. But if you have hens the same age, when they start laying eggs, he'll start being able to fertilize them. Thats my best guess! Good Luck!

   He's fertile as soon as he's able to mount successfully.
