For my 4h project I decided to start a small breeding program. However since I live in a residential area, I cannot have a rooster. My friend lives on a farm though, so I am going to take my hen over there to breed her. How long does the hen have to be with the rooster for the eggs to be fertile? And how long after she is back to my house will she still be laying fertile eggs?
