when breeding 2 birds.

[rocketdog312]

I am planning on breeding my OEGB roo to my silkie/ameracauna mutt. but there are other roos that can interfere, I would need to isolate them so they can mate and then I can get the eggs.

how long does it take, after mating, for the eggs to get fertilized? also, can one mating fertilize more than one egg?

from what I was told you need to isolate the hen for 21 days to make sure it is a "pure" breeding then the roo only needs to visit every 3 days for good fertility. I am sure a more experinced breeder can help you.
