Egg fertility

[indigo flats]

I run one Rooster with eight hens is it safe to assume my chickens eggs are fertile?

 

[chickens really]

Yes, if he is breeding them your chances are very high.....


Cheers!

How old is your roo and how old are the hens?

With that ratio, though, I would assume my eggs are fertile.

Hens are 11 months rooster just a little older. I haven't witnessed no matings but they are free range so not in view all the time.

What about a 11month old roo and a 4 year old hen do think u think her eggs are fertile??

 

[indigo flats]

I would think so.

He could have mated with out you seeing him the act is pretty fast, he is on her back and off before you know it
