can the hens TRAVEL to the roo for mating?

[Wendy'sChicksRock]

Will the hens accept a roo if they are not housed together? My friend would like to hatch some eggs.. my hens to her roo. will it work if I drop the girls off for a few weeks or not a good idea? They all came from the same breeder origionally so not worried about illness all are healthy . what do you all think ?

It is always best to move the Rooster to the Hen's, fertility is increased.

I think it is a grand plan.

It should work wonderfully well.

they were hatched at the same breeder and raised together up untill the last few months.. I think they will be fine.. they will ( the 3 of them ) all seperated from the rest of the flock

Hens can be so sensitive...I would bring the rooster to your hens. He'll be excited to see his new ladies, but if you move the ladies, they'll just be upset and irritated......maybe not in the mood for love! LOL

Just looking out for you. I can't stand when I get a sick bird, and when it's my own fault for doing something not so smart it's worse.

You like brown chicken brown cow better, my wife uses that all the time. Silly girl​

Thanxs for looking out for me.. I would die if anything went wrong. These are my two VERY favorite hens... Im a little nervous to tell ya the truth.. Plus my poor Bantam Cochin will miss them so.. she goes everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE they go... sleeps between them... Im worried for her
