I was JUST driving by and there was a sign for "hen's 1 yr. 4$".
Well, I bought all 7, thinking I would have my money back in eggs in no time. They were sooo sweet, and personalized, and I set them up and got 4 eggs the next day! and 5 eggs the next! I had a problem though, 2 of the hens didn't want me to take the eggs. So I ran an add, wanting a male and got one today. What I was wanting to know is when I should stop taking the eggs, (I don't want them to be setting on nothing, but I also don't want to take away fertile ones), and also what will the babies look like? The rooster is a rhode island red, I also have 4 females like him and 2 that he said were that but they are very light, and a black and white speckled female. Thanx for your input

I think your questions might be better answered on the "Managing your Flock " thread. You might try that place for fast response.

Most everyone here has been very helpful and have great suggestions and ideas. We are pretty new to chickens ourselves (ours are 3 and 4 weeks old). Good luck with your new girls.

YOu certainly jumped in at the deep end.

Good luck to you, sorry I can not answer your question I do not have a Roo, only 4 girls. But good luck with them.
 
Fertile eggs usually show up after 7 days. I usually don't try to incubate anything until after 14 days with the rooster. This is just my way and what my grandfather told me long long ago.
