Help my Rooster is not horny enough.

[Dansoy]

Hi all.

Well my Rooster is around 1 year+ and a real gentleman.
My 3 hen's start laying eggs now and I want all the eggs to be fertilized for chicks.
My rooster is from the Phillipines and a good boy but when he approach a girl for sex, he doesn't really go for it!
He takes a step into her direction with hes big body and raised neck feathers but when the girl moves away he stops also.
He always takes 1 move but does not ..you know.. continue and really have sex..

Is there anything I can do to make my rooster really go for it?

By the way, my roo does know ''how'' to do it.
And hes the leader of the flock, respected by all. but if the girls dont actually sit for it.. its not happening.

Oh okidoki

In my opinion that is a GOOD rooster. Much better than roosters that are always grabbing and going at it no matter if the hen wants it or not.

The step and hackle raise you see is him asking the hen if they want to mate. The hens stepping away are saying 'not right now'. If the hens sit down, he will immediately step on and finish it.

Most hens will sit down if they are about to lay eggs or are laying eggs. They do not need to be bred very often for good fertility. Under normal situations and if birds are healthy, a single, one time only mating will give you fertile eggs for two weeks. So you see, they do not need to be mated several times every day.

Dansoy: Have you checked your eggs for fertility? Perhaps your roo and hens are just shy around you!
