Howdy and a couple questions.

If they're breeding, they're fertile.

 

Howdy! And welcome to BYC!

I think i might give it a week or so just to make sure he has a chance to get to all the hens.

I try to check my eggs when i crack them open for breakfast or whatever - just to do a spot check to make sure everyone's staying fertile.

Here is a great thread with pictures to help you tell whether your eggs are fertile by the "bullseye."

Sometimes there is an alpha roo. If they are raised together they will get along but one will be dominant.

You could separate them in different pens but then they may not get along later, however you would be controlling who bred with whom and if your roos are like my Alpha Roo - every lady he gets near is bred. Thats just how he rolls. He also protects them and tells them when the good treats are tossed and waits until they get some before he takes any.

He is a jerk to me but very nice to the girls.
