Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

2 weeks is usually what is recommended, but 3 weeks might work.

I was talking about how hens still lay fertile eggs for 3 weeks when they don't have a rooster.

I have hatched 3 week old refrigerated eggs before though.

I have another question about fertilized eggs:
If I had two roosters and rooster 1 fertilized a hen, and a week later rooster 2 fertilized the same hen, which rooster would the offspring along to?
Does anybody know?

Breeding my silkies.

The hen will store both roosters' sperm for later use. The answer would be from either rooster, you won't know who fathered the chicks until you compare the offspring to each rooster.

I might do that.
