Crazy hen

[pearlbluebantam]

I have a 3-4 year old white americana she lives with 15 hens and 2 big ole Rooster. Pete and Repeat are the roosters and yes all my hens have names also lol Ok this hen is known as tweek lol she lays eggs like crazy BUT HAS NEVER LAYED A FERTILIZED EGG ans i got her as a chick. Any ideas at all because I would very much like chickes from her.

Maybe If you put her by herself with a Roo?

Ok i know my Roos are fertile because all my other hens are laying and hatching eggs with babies. I was wondering if it is actually the hen may have something wrong she lays eggs butt nothing fertile.
But i do appreciate your info.

If it's possible for roosters to be infertile, I don't see why it wouldn't be case that hens could be infertile as well. I've read hens can actually reject sperm after mating.

The fact that she lays eggs regularly probably eliminates a reproductive problem.


On a completely separate note: this made me laugh.

Pete and Repeat are the roosters

I love the names of your roosters!

Yes, I meant the hen might be infertile. I thought the implication was clear when it apparently was not.

I am sorry about the missunderstanding
