I have incubated some eggs an got a good hatch. now they are 17 weeks plus 4 days, I had no rooster to start with an now i have 2 roosters out of 9 that hatched. my queston is will Kermit make furtle the eggs. Being he is related to the 7 hens. I have 2 hens that i had befor the 9 i incubated. I know were the eggs came from that i incubated an they had 1 roosted. so there rooster is related to all my chickens that came from him.i know there is no problem with the 2 hens beauty an bugsy. are not related but they are black Austrolops. but what about the rest will it make a differance. i do not know can anyone answer the question i am sure i all ready know the answer i am gessing nature will not let him breed the chickens. that is what i am gessing. waiting for a answer thanks Ken

correct me if i'm wrong i think ur asking a few questions there. let me see if i can answer them. if i missed it let me know and i'll help u, we've all been new here before.

ok u started with fertile hatching eggs from someone else. hatched 7 girls and 2 boys. hens lay eggs without a male but r not fertile unless they have a male to fertilize them.

both those rosters will start breeding or should start around 4-6mths old. they will practice at first and not mount right but once they learn yes they can fertilize the eggs.

they are animals they do not know they are related to us it's insest but in birds it's called line breeding. i believe ya can not mate birds from same clutch if all have same mom and dad or it may cause diformities but mabe someone else can answer that. i think all other related matengs are fine. i don't breed mine that way i have several bloodlines in my flock. my hens maybe related but the males in that pen are not they are moved to another non related heirm. it is nature they will mount any girl their or should every girl eventually once he has learned it from instinct.
