Rooster problems

[rdcowman]

If a hen goes broody I usually wait until she sits on the nest for 48 hours before settling eggs underneath her. Some breeds go broody, others don't (in general). If you want to plan your hatches, then an incubator is a better bet.

I would not expect fertile eggs for at least another two to three months, but I'm sure you will observe if his advances are being accepted.

Maybe put a photo of your suspect cockerel on the gender / breed forum for confirmation

Will do! If i hatch eggs in a incubator could i try giving them to a hen?

Assuming she has been broody for a couple of weeks, yes (but no guarantee she will accept them). Begs the question, why not set eggs under a broody hen from the start

Thanks for the links, @CTKen ; Just one question though:

After checking to see if my eggs are fertile, how do I get them back into the shells?

Give the Humphrey-Dumpy poultry comparably a ring and have them send over the Kings horses and men.
