How long before I get the same breed?

[Mrjamz]

I have a mixed flock That all run together and stay in the same coop. I am wanting to hatch out some of my Lakenvelder so I cooped up all the Lakenvelder together. My question is about how long or how many eggs do they have to lay before I eliminate get the chance of having one of my other roosters fertilized eggs in there?

Welcome to BYC. I believe you'll need to wait for around 3 weeks.

 

[Mrjamz]

Thank you. Okay thanks for the help.

Yes, 3weeks is a good rule of thumb. I’ve seen some say 4 weeks for 100% confidence.

 

[Mrjamz]

Thank you all

At least 4 weeks, 5 would be better
