My roo is kinda mean to my hen she has 8eggs already i was wondering how long she will stay fertile after i take him out
 
Hi and welcome to BYC - you have some great advice already so I'll just say hello!

All the best

Do you know your hen will continue to lay eggs without the rooster period!! They will be non-fertile eggs however, and will not hatch into chicks. It's not good to have a mean rooster, his chicks may be mean like him.
 
That was a new, and interesting, question to me.
Never gave it any thought before. So I had to look it up.

And Pyxis gave you a pretty solid answer.

Actually it looks like it can very a few days either way
depending on the breed. But three weeks, give or take
a few days either way.

Oddly enough, it looks like ducks can go a little longer.
