I have a 12 and 1/2 week Buff Orpington rooster, he started crowing at 9 weeks and mating around 10-11. My question is: is he fertile?
The hens are all the same age, so no eggs to tell and he tryed to mate my 6 week rooster(s) too. He is locked up for hurting them, but still so he can see his hens.
The hens won't squat, but he will do the 'butt rub' once he gets them to stay still
Here he is, pic from this morning, getting ready to mate my EE, until he saw me of course!
