Just out of curiosity, about how many years does a rooster last in a breeding flock? I know with hens it's a few years till their fertility rates drop. What about roosters though? I have tried to research the answer to this question with no luck Thanks! ~Steph
In the end it depends on the individual. Just and there are 10 year old hens laying eggs, there are 10 year old roosters fathering chicks. Probably older, in both cases. I believe roosters last longer than hens, in reference to fertility, though.
