We had a hen go broody which encouraged 2 others to go broody so now we have 3 broody hens. We have a rooster and would like to have the hens raise chicks naturally. This rooster has successfully given us chicks last year. We are trying not to interfere too much but have candled several of the eggs and they all seem infertile It should be day 17 for the first broody hen but we haven’t seen any signs of life.
Our rooster is older.. at least 4 years old. Do roosters stop being fertile eventually? Are there any other reasons this is happening?
Advise or knowledge would be appreciated!
