I have a huge barred rock rooster in with my silkies (they were raised together) along with some barred rock hens, australorps and EE's. The silkie hen is really little and I have some silkie roos with her but do you think the barred rock, um, you know...I guess I should separate them for a while before hatching any silkie eggs?
 
Careful because large breed birds can break bantams backs while trying to mate with them. But if you separate her and him in a different pen you might get some beautiful babies.
 
He probably has...the only way to know is to hatch some! Hatch-away!!!

Her eggs are fertile but there are 3 silkie roosters in there, too, as well as a polish. I'd like to separate all my "kinds" for hatching but how long will I need to have them separated to be sure the egg is fertilized by the right rooster?
