Hey all fellow chicken lovers. I am not new to chickens have had them for about 4 years, but this year I finally raised my own chickens and purchased a cockerel too!!

I have a total of 13 girls and 1 mr.

I have a question about my mr. I keep him separate so we can have planned babies in the future. He seems to just sit on his perch and not come outside. But when the girls we does what they do. Should I not keep him separate? He is about 16 weeks old.

Thank you!!

Why not let him run with the hens? He is probably bored and lonely - chickens are flock creatures. Fertile eggs are fine to eat and will not start developing unless incubated.
 
Hi, welcome to BYC!

x3 on sourland's comment. Try letting the roo out with the girls so he can do the job of taking care of his flock.

Thanks for joining us!
