I have a Beautiful Americauna Rooster but he is young, My 7yr old americauna hen is wanting to hatch more babies her last set was when the nieghbors rooster got through the fence, I had Mutts, but Is she too old to hatch chicks she still lays every day for me. But I want some purebreds out of her to keep her line going, And I have a sharp looking roster to put with her need advise on putting her with the roo, and how old he will have to be. Thanks in advance for input on this.
 
How old is your roo? If she still lays eggs daily, then no difference between laying a fertilized vs an unfertilized one:) I'd say put the roo with your girl. If they seem to "hit it off" then start collecting fertile eggs!
