how old

[Guest]

shortie if you are getting a hen from mad dog you can guarantee she will be as fertile as a low land field

 

is that fertile??? lol i tink my problm will be him lol

[Guest SkyMaster]

will it not hurt the bird plucking it

[Guest]

duno? maybe but if it works and hes a good bird then try

[blaz]

the thing is to try and keep him happy. EG no young cocks giveing him a hard time his pick of boxes and so on. build up his energy with carbohydrates just to give him a boost.
