Laying hen/roo

[Tclow1518]

Hey all,
I have laying hens and I might get a rooster. My question is: if the roo has his way with the hens and the eggs get fertilized can they still be eaten ? The eggs are collected daily
Thanks

Yes, yes, yes. And your rooster will be a huge asset to the flock. He will find food for the girls and he will protect them with his life. I am a firm believer in having at least one rooster. An older Roo will teach a younger Roo how to be a gentleman. And if there is a predator then there are two roos to fight the battle. If one Roo dies you still have another for protection.
