Hey BYC members! I have a 5 and 1/2 month old silkie rooster who is crowing like crazy and is just starting to do his funny little dance and herd the other ladies in the coop. Any estimates on when he will be able to start fertilizing eggs? Or is he already mature enough to, but its just a matter of when he actually will? Any estimates? Thanks!
Sounds like he is mature enough so if he has enough confidence, he will probably start soon. Silkies sometimes have too much "fluff" so can't get the job done very well and AI is called for, but hopefully that won't be the case for you.
