BackYard Chickens - Learn How to Raise Chickens
Next week I will introduce a new rooster to a flock of 16 hens; he has been quarantined for a month. I removed the original rooster 3 weeks ago in order to have the hens clear their systems.
Will be my first experience introducing a new rooster and I have no idea what to expect. Some say use a look don't touch method, others say just put them together and they will work it out. Still thinking about how I will proceed.
I will expand to 24 hens so want to get eggs into the incubator asap.
How long will it be before the hens are fertilized?
Thanks.
