How old does a rooster have to be not to breed I have a silkie rooster he maybe 4 year old with a silkie hen and the eggs are all infertile last year she would set but none of the eggs would hatch. I put a younger hen with him same thing his spurs or about 3 inch long could they get in the way of him breeding he will mount the hens.I had him in a pen with more silkie rooster before he is the only one I have now .DK
 
once he starts falling asleep watching matlock id say he is too old

just kidding

if he is mounting the hen he is fertile, dont think they really ever stop being fertile
