New roo

[kasey08]

I just got a new roo. How long will it take to hatch out his babies?

If he shows "interest" in the hens the eggs should be fertile in just a few days I would think.

They have been with another roo. I just want to know when they will be my new roos.

Three weeks and they are "probably" sired by the new rooster. 4 weeks and they are his for sure.

Sorry I'm Rancher don't mind my sense of humor.

Seriously you can hatch out his chicks after he show interest and is fertilizing eggs. IF you just want chicks. If you want serious hatchings show and the like I'd wait til he is older maybe a year and then breed him to an older hen not a young pullet.

Young roosters to older hens and older roosters to younger hens. This according to PP or Back yard Poultry magazine.

They are all around a year old. I just got a new roo because he is smaller and cuter

all Silkies BTW

I still havent seen him do his thing. He does that stupid dance around them and then just stops. Is it like hens and you just have to give them time to get used to the place?
