Hi-
I've watched the roosters going nutso in the barn with their hens. How soon will their eggs be fertile, specially since they don't seem to be laying right now, not regularly at least. I'm told by a hatchery that it's every egg for the next 7 days, once the roosters gets to them. What is it really?
Thanks,
Kathy
oh, and if they are NOT laying right now, shouldn't they start after being bred? and how long before they start laying again? nobody appears to be molting either.
