I believe hens can carry sperm from another rooster for 2 weeks and there have been cases of even longer amounts of time.

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Do you think i should keep the eggs and hatch the chicks or just throw them out?

Are you keeping them or just selling them for pets? If you want to hatch them out I don't see any reason not to.
