Why is my rooster not making the eggs fertile?

[Izzy Dietzler]

I have a blue laced red wyandotte rooster. He is 1 1/4 yrs. We were getting fertile eggs from him a month ago and we hatched a bunch out but now all the eggs are not fertile (every single one) what is the issue with him?

Check his vent to see that he is not mite infested or infected in some fashion. It is very unusual for a rooster that young to go sterile. Is he acting normal otherwise ?

Yes he is acting normal. I will take a look at that.

If he has developed excessive feathering around his vent, feather plucking can help him make contact when breeding.
