Looking for Americauna rooster for single breeding

[Douza]

I have a three-year-old Americauna hen named Badger. She is exceptionally smart and canny and delightful. May be a random request but I’m wondering if there’s someone that has a rooster that I could leave badger with and see whether or not I can get some fertilized eggs from her genetic line. I only want a couple of offspring- So hopefully it’s not a long process,

Does anyone have experience with introducing a new hen to a rooster?
I live in madison wisconsin and for obvious reasons would like to find someone local. The city ordinance does not allow me to have roosters.
Thank you

If you cannot keep roosters, I recommend not to hatch any with someone else’s rooster. It may lead to disease. Plus it takes a while to integrate a rooster with a hen from different flocks, without the rooster possible hurting the hen.

We have introduced 2 hens to our rooster this year. It was a long process of a month. We did not want to spread diseases that may otherwise kill the entire flock. We first seperated them entirely. Then after 2-3 weeks, we finished deworming the hens and inspecting them. So we let our flock free range around their enclosure (the rooster also free ranged around). Then, we started to let the hens out (at 4weeks). And slowly integrated them.

This is not a well thought through strategy which is why I posted here. I doesn’t sound like a simple process. Especially after reading some other posts about the problems you can encounter with mating. I think I’ll pass on the project and just get some new chicks when the time comes. Thank you for your information.
