Chickens how long will it take rooster to start mating with hen?

Janssen

Admin
For a hen to lay fertile, hatchable eggs, however, a rooster and his healthy reproductive system are vital necessities. Starting at about 4-6 months of age, young roosters (cockerels) reach sexual maturity, producing sperm and acting like roosters.

A rooster crow has nothing do do with the mating routine and it will happen many times during the day when the Cock is mature.
