How long will a rooster lay?

[cluckychick]

This may be a stupid question. This morning I let my chicken out of their coop and they all came running, flying, galloping out like they were escaping death or something. I know my polish rooster has been getting rather "randy" lately but has still not been at all aggressive toward anyone, still the gentlman. Well this morning he comes out and starts chasing the girls around and he grabbed my white frizzle and she layed down and he climbed on. My question is, how long does the mating actually take a rooster to do? It only seemed he was there 10 seconds. None of my hens are laying yet even though it should be any moment for my frizzles, silkies and polish. If she layed down then she must be that much closer to laying right? I should be checking the coop closely now?

I am soooooooo ready for my first egg and getting soooooo excited about it. I just wish it was now, lol.

Happy 4th of July everyone!! Be safe and play pretty

Ok, maybe it wasn't exactly 10 seconds but it felt like it, lol. He is kinda studly looking don't ya think?

Great looking rooster!! I wonder since my husband is Polish... would he be more inclined to have chickens if I got the Polish type??? hmmmm... They have funny hair dos to be sure... or is that a "feather do"??

I can't decide if he looks more like rod stewart or Billy Idol

It only takes a second or two for the roo to do his duty and since your girls are squatting for him I'd say it's about time to be looking for eggs! The first ones are alway soo amazing. Btw- very nice roo!

I was able to talk my men-folk into chickens because they thought Polish look like "Alien vs. Preditor"!
