Older hen. My young 22 month old cock bird and his 3 year old hen double clutched this year 3 then 4. The first two eggs were infertile while he was learning I suppose!

I would make sure the older hen will accept your younger cock first though.......older hens have been known to kill a cock if they don't like them!! :)
