Chicken sex Ed type question.

[guinea fowl galore]

Ok. So if you have two roosters, rooster 1 and rooster 2, And a hen.
The hen is in with rooster 1, then by herself for 4-5 days, then put in with rooster 2. Will the chicks be from rooster 1 or 2? I would think #2 because the sperm should be fresher. Or is it a mix then of #1 and #2s sperm so then its a lucky dip for who gets to father the chick?

I have read that you should wait ten days to be sure. If I want to breed my pure breds, I plan on separating them from the roosters for 10 days and then putting them in the breeding pen with the same breed.

I'm sure the odds favor roo #2 because the live count ought to be much higher for his fresher donation but roo #1 still has a shot.

 

[stoopid]

I'm pretty sure they both have a shot at it.

a hen can "hold the goods" for about 3 weeks
