BHep - AWE!! I had NO idea a roo does all of that. I almost wish my husband was like that. (SHHHH
) The only reason I wanted to keep him separate was because ... well ... I think my husband is deathly afraid of eating a ... fertilized egg.
Honestly, that was the only reason!! He keeps talking about making sure we know who's been bred with whom...and so yeah.
- I had to do SOMETHING to appease his fears...although I did see chicken "panties"
Suggestions?? Will you ever know if an egg has been fertilized? (assuming the hen hasn't gone broody)
If one of the hens decides (and we're at the point we let her) to hatch some, won't she want/need to be separated from the others, or will she be fine where she's at? : hu As you can see...we still have a LOT to learn!! Thank you so much for all of your help everyone!!
just don't tell him if it is fertilized or how to tell.. look it up here there are pic.... it is a small white bullseye on the yoke.
p.s. there are thread on here,, some people have hatched out store bought, refrigerated eggs. So ya never know!
ETA............... there is no difference in fertilized & non fert. eggs as far as taste. Even if hen is broody , does not mean eggs are fertilized. Just means she want to sit. its nature!
I personaly would not seperate the rooster. Chickens are flocks, they don't like to be alone. I only seperate for medical reasons.
I wonder if they would take a bid from a 7mo as serious...
