Okay another silly question...Early this past spring I bought a dozen fertilized green eggs from a fella who free ranges ALL his chickens...different breeds..(first time for the kids and I )..I put six eggs under my broody and 5 hatched and four survived.....three black hens ...one is black and some white feathers ....one is a smaller black bantam size..and one is black and a sexlink size....and plus I have a black Roo.....all are approx. 6 months old....My Roo is starting to become the BIG GUY of all the whole flock(he's the only Roo) does his dance ...puffs his neck feathers out....Crows.....My three black hens are not laying yet so I am not sure what colour their eggs are...going to put a light in coop middle of January....There all on Vacation now....
My question ...come spring can I seperate the three black hens and my Roo into a differnet run and coop and hopefully have fertilized eggs to hatch out by my good ole broody hen....
What if there brother and sister / connected by blood somehow...would that matter...
I am covering my face in shame not knowing this answer?
