[QUOTE="woodsman04, post: 4761507, member: 19488"] Rarity but they will still do it. I have no idea when it’s too late for a hen to ovulate and lay eggs. I think they go through their molt in late July and are usually full plumaged again my the first of the year. So I guess whenever the summer solstice is far enough behind that they see day length decreasing is when they start their molt and no longer ovulate. Gobblers being fertile would be the same way, when the day length begins to decrease testes size shrinks and they are no longer fertile. Not being fertile again until probably February when they start putting on body fat and breast meat. Mega or Andy or any other thoughts on this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
