Which pen should I keep it in

[Frizzle13]

I recently bought a silkie cross to sit on some eggs but it turns out its a roo. I breed frizzles and don't want to mix my breeds should I leave it in with my frizzles or put it with my old roo out with my mixed breeds. Will it be fine in a run for a while , how long would he need to be in the run to insur none of my hens lays mongrel eggs

30 days is usually what they recommend for the eggs to be pure if he has mated them.

What type of frizzles do you breed, and do the hens have rough feathers or the roos?

My Roos have rough feathers

My Roos have rough feathers

If it was vice versa, he wouldn't have been an issue in there.

I'm sorry you were sold a 'hen' that was a rooster. That really sucks.
