I'm sorry I have no idea. But I want to Welcome you to Backyard chickens. Chicken hens do not go into "season," like a dog. AI can probably be done at any time as long as the chicken is old enough to lay eggs. If you have an experienced rooster I think he could handle things himself.

You can put "artificial insemination" in the search box, and any articles will come up for you.

Welcome. Any chance your rooster is mating and you're just not seeing it? IS that the only hen he has access to? Just thinking if he had a few more maybe he would become more efficient. How old is he? Different birds mature at different times.

It would be helpful to have a few more details. Such as exactly how old the "hen" and "rooster" are. Are either of them over a year old, or are they still a pullet and cockerel? How long have you had them together? What is their housing like? Are you watching them 24/7? (If you're not watching them 24/7, they may be mating - if they're old enough - and you're not seeing it. It really doesn't take long.)
