Whats the youngest rooster you've had to breed?

Just over two weeks ago, I moved a bantam hen out of the main pen she shared with large fowl, to prepare her for bonding and breeding with a young frizzle. The frizzle is only about 3 months old.

Prior to being moved, the bantam was somehow being bred by my large fowl roosters - and getting fertile eggs from them! I actually have a perfectly-marked phoenix chick right now that kinda surprised me...

Well it has been over two weeks now, almost 3. I have still been putting her eggs in the incubator, expecting them to go infertile any day now. But I just candled one from three days ago, and there is a clear dot with spidering blood vessels!

Granted, there is a chance it could be from the larger chickens. But COULD it be from the little 3-month old Frizzle?

yup ! could be. sperm stays active for about two weeks after you remove the rooster but no longer and i just took some babies out of my brooder that were about 2 1/2- 3 months and guess what they are doing. geez !! its like our children, younger and younger
