Thank you! I have been wondering about that for a while.The hen will store both roosters' sperm for later use. The answer would be from either rooster, you won't know who fathered the chicks until you compare the offspring to each rooster.

You do know that cage/pen isn’t predator proof whatsoever, right?Breeding my silkies.View attachment 1942773 View attachment 1942774
Yes, I know that. They only will spend part of their time in there at a time, not all day, or all night. That's only half of the breeding pen, if it were fully built it will be 7ft.You do know that cage/pen isn’t predator proof whatsoever, right?![]()
Is she not from your own birds?I've got eggs due to hatch from this pairing on Wednesday!
I've hatched chicks fathered by my rooster but never this pullet. I have no idea what her chicks will look like but I'm kinda hoping that she doesn't carry the vaulted skull genes.
Fingers crossed she also produces chicks with half decent toe feathering.
We will see...

HmmNo she was bought to add more genetic diversity into my flock. She was just a seriously late layer though and is very 'temperamental' in when and where she lays...
