Neighbors rooster mating with my hens?

[ben0125]

you should build a higher fence so it does not breed your hens

Thats how high my fence is, I dont know if you can see it

Tell the neighbor to keep his rooster on his own property. Easy Peazy

Nothing wrong with eating fertile eggs and it's unlikely you'll even notice that they're fertilized if you collect eggs regularly.

We have always eating fertile eggs. They are collected ON THE SAME DAY & placed in the ice box asap. If left out in the heat, they will develope. Heat is the catalist.
Too tired to spell check.. uugh..

ok, looked like plastic, be aware that it probably is still flimsy and you may want to add something to stabilize it, like if they want to fly up and sit on it

what types of predators in your area??

Unfortunetly, that coop is rather flimsy as well. My understanding is that they usually don't last a year, with weather. I hope you are planning your next coop already! Especially if your considering hatching eggs.

There are 2 roosters and a 5 hens maybe??? I think one of the roosters is a big rhode island red aswell

You will need this list.
Charcoal Bag.
Apple Wood Chips Bag.
BBQ.
Lighter.
Olive oil, seasonings.
Corn on the cob.

You already have the Roosters so I took them off the list.
If you already made several requests to your neighbor and no positive effort taking on his behalf yet, then invite them to the BBQ. JUST KIDDING

On a serious note. I would be concerned that the Roosters may be transporting lice or mites to your area.
