Im new to owning chickens, we have had 3 hens for abou 7 months and we just got a 4 year old rooster on monday. I have seen him mount 2 of are hens, that was on monday. We have been getting about 2 to 3 eggs a day since sat or sun. I was just wanting to know if they lay eggs today would they be fertile or how long would it take for them to lay a fertile egg.

these are some eggs I got yesterday and today, I think one looks like a bullseye but I'm not sure. Thank you
 
1st pic is a maybe. 2nd one is positive, 3rd one is negative.

Look for a ring or halo around the white spot.
Once a hen is successfully mated, she's fertile for at least a couple of weeks. Sometimes longer.
