I have a mixed flock but also have 7 Ameraucana one of which is a rooster. The other 12 birds are varying breeds. I want to hatch out some pure Ameraucana so here's my plan: I have a small coop made for maybe 4 full size hens. I know the Ameraucana are smaller birds but I don't plan on leaving them there forever. So I'll leave them in there for 2 weeks to get the other roosters dna out... Then start gathering eggs for incubating.
How does this sound?
Will most of the hens be fertile in a small space like that?
And this isn't the dominant rooster so the hens are not yet submissive to him right now. How will this come into play?
Thanks!
