Fact or Myth??

(1/1)

Hannah Brush:
I herd that if you have a rooster that has been frost bit then he is no longer fertile? I  have been told that it was a myth and it was true?? :-\

Brett Bartee:
Just a myth, No worries ^_^

Bear River Farm:
We have a bantam modern game that lost 1 foot and most of the other foot last winter.  After he recovered, he fertilized dozen of eggs with only 1 partial foot.  We still are not sure how he managed but he did...  Your rooster should be fine.

Anyone who has been frostbit can tell you how painful it can be.  Bottom line, if a bird is in pain he isn't much interested in mating.   They do recover in time.
