NEED SOME INFO PLEASE

[pedenes]

I just got my trio of gamefowl. They are called Nesmith Sweaters

the Rooster is about 7 months and the pullet is 6 months, the other one is pullet is a lil over a 1 year old.

When are they going to lay?

Are they going to be broody? the winter is coming

Thanks in advance!!

Sounds like you got ya some nice birds. I wouldn't be looking for them to get broody any time soon, esp. with winter on the way. Some of ours lay and get broody starting in Febuary, I usually have chicks on the ground by the first of March. So early spring you should definitely start seeing some eggs.

Thanks for the info! yep they are really nice. ill try to post some pics soon

Just one more question. Are they atleast going to lay fertile eggs? Because i got my incubator.

i saw my rooster always mating with them.
my older pullet is getting bald on her head because of him pulling it.

Thanks

I didn't know that anybody kept that breed for their egglaying, I thought they were used for other purposes.

As long as he is topping them, I would think they would be fertile. Be sure to feed them right and keep them bug free and you will do fine. And yes, you haven't lived until you've had a game egg omelet.... and they are decent layers as long as you keep them from setting.
