hi to all.
My hens have been laying for about two months now. We have a roo who was hatched in december and many of the eggs appear fertile. In your opinion, how old should my laying hens be before I try and hatch some of their eggs. The hens lay three a day and I need to rehome the roo due to noise( the suburbs). He's a beautiful roo and I hate to lose his future offspring as well (if that makes any sense).He was hatched in December. I remember that I had read that the fertile eggs should come from more mature hens but I can't find the post.
Any help regarding laying hen or rooster age and egg hatching would be great.
Thanks!
