just a wondering question

[florasbell]

i know chickens lay eggs all year round but if you have a cock bird with them will thos eggs be fertile or is it just a spring thing?

If they are with a rooster year round, the eggs they lay will be fertile year round. We hatch chicks all through the year this way.

As long as a rooster is in with the hens, the eggs will be fertile if he is doing his job

And if he has no other issues. If rooster is too young it may take awhile for eggs to be fertile

Many people hatch eggs all year long
