Hello everyone. I have a question. My chicks are about 11 weeks, one of my roosters is trying to mount one of my hens. Isn't he to young for that behavior? It's just one hen, not any of the others.

They should start mating and when they do,expect plenty of fertile eggs.starting at about 4 1/2 months.I have 4 young Roosters about 4-6 months old over 16 hens between 4months and 1.5yrs. Mostly the older hens keep the boys in their place, but how long until I can expect to start looking for fertile eggs? The 2 oldest are crowing, but I haven't witnessed any of them doing the deed yet and they've been all together for several weeks now.
