Last year, around December, 15 weeks ago, we purchased four light sussex day olds, one of which was a cross breed (x arancuana). One of the light sussex (pure) we’re fairly sure is a rooster. It’s fairly obvious.
Since three of them are related, if not by the hens (since there were several breeding hens at the time) then definitely by the single rooster the breeder had, would there be cross-breeding problems?
What is sexual maturity for this rooster?
How do you tell if eggs are fertile? How soon after being laid can you tell?
Is eight hens enough for one rooster?
Is crowing necessary for breeding? Because he’s a dam mute one…
Oh, if you have any pictures on the difference between fertile or non-fertile eggs…That’d be awesome
