i have a rooster that has just started to crow he doesn't have his Spurs yet and I'm get two hens today that are adult and I was wondering if he will fertilize the hens he isn't a full adult but he does crow all day

Roosters can start breeding at around 12-15 weeks of age.

Yes, I found out that my guy that was only 4 months old and had just started to crow, just a few days later was after the girls. Some of those eggs are in my bator and developing nicely.
And oh..some roosters don't get real long spurs.

If you want to know if he is able to fertilize your hens, put them together for a couple days. Select an egg or two and break them open into a dish. From there you can look for the "bullseye" in the yolk. "Bullseye" means they are fertile, small white dot means they are not fertile. If they are not wait a week or two and check again.

Sometimes I think cockerels are born READY. As for spurs, some breeds of hen grow pretty big ones too.
