My 2 silkie girls are finally laying, yay! My problem is that i can't have roosters where i live so my 3 live out in the country. How long do the girls need to be with the boys for eggs to start being fertile? I would have to bring them out to the boys and leave them, which I'm not too happy about doing for very long since it took forever to get my grumpy old hen to accept them in the first place, If i took them out say tonight, and then left them for the day tomorrow and brought them back home friday, would their eggs start being fertile?
On another note, should I put them in with all 3 boys or separate a boy out for them? All 3 get along together just great but I don't want to cause any fighting over girls...
