Rooster Introduction

[Reedo5]

I am getting a rooster an introducing it my hens in hopes to do some incubation, how long does it usually take before I can try an incubate some or how will I know they are ready to be? Does the rooster have to buy them all dinner first???

About two weeks as long as he gives all the ladies equal attention. Dinner usually not necessary.

Recommended to quarantine new arrivals for 30 days to prevent illness from reaching and wiping out your whole flock. After that, it won't take too long to get fertile eggs if the roo is up to the task.
