HAD 4 ROOSTERS NOW ONLY 3, HOW LONG BEFORE THE SOLD ROOSTER'S SPERM IS NOT FERTILIZING EGGS?

[Tootsie]

I had a younger rooster I sold last month the other 3 roosters remain and I want to know how long I have to wait until his sperm is not in the breeding program? There are about 15 hens in there with the remaining 3 roosters.

Thanks for your time and advice is appreciated.

3 or 4 weeks

OK should I wait the whole 4 weeks if I want to sell the eggs for hatching? I was hoping with other men on the job I could get a way with 3 weeks but want to do it right.

It's a gradual thing and it varies. Since it sounds like you want to be sure he isn't the father, I'd wait at least the full 4 weeks, maybe a little longer.

Thanks that is what I will do but how much longer? He was sold 4/21/15?
