We have a mixed age flock.... 3 are almost 7months, a few are 5-6 months and the majority are 4 months. Out of almost 20 in our flock 1/4 are cockrels. Only one so far will mount and try to mate with the older POL hens we have 2 prod reds that he likes to mount. They so far are the only layers. My next Q is how soon will we be getting fertilized eggs?
thanks for any info/input
