theres a few on here who keep them, hopefully you will get a sensible answer :D .

well in the past when I have borrowed one from a particular strain that i wanted to intriduce into my stock, I have always kept it for a couple of months so that I had a good numbetr of eggs to set....and I would have one cock to maybe 3 or 5 hens. Hope that helps. :)

Hello

sorry no jokes or puns,

If hes got it in him should take him a week or so, will just have to keep an eye on the action :blink:

He probably wont win them over with charm more like brute force, so be prepared for ya chooks who normaly never think of flying to try and get away from him, so if in an uncovered run you might need to cover it while his visiting,

Any idea what breeds your going for?

Cheers

Neil

also depend how many hens ya got
