Thanks JimW, I was looking to get some feedback, maybe I will put him with the 7 hens I prefer of the 10 Marans. He is in with about 20 hens right now and I have yet to catch him in the act, but then again none of the girls really seem that interested yet!

I would put him with all 10, that breed is usually kinda randy, it's not spring yet, that's when most roosters get really randy and the poor hens suffer. Hens with no back feathers and their poor heads picked and they pick favorites as well so some breeders will switch the rooster out into a different group of hens just to help prevent that. I knew of one ameraucana rooster out with 100 hens almost every egg fertile.

My Luckys favourites get some finery in the form of saddles, it really saves them!

No I can't fix it....just have to tuck my tail between my legs and beg admin to fix.
Yes going to try and collect some eggs over the next 3-4 days and hopefully just try maybe 12-15 in the incubator. Man chicken math is harder than calculus!
