Coturnix - When switching roo, how long for eggs to be fertilized by new male?

[TGinTX]

This is a question about coturnix quail. I have a male & 3 hens in a cage. I switched the male out & want to hatch its offspring. How long do I need to wait so that the eggs laid are not left over from the original male in the pen? Some animals store the DNA of the male for a while and I don't know exactly at which stage of egg production gets the egg fertilized in first place. I know it takes a few days for an egg to make it through the reproduction system. Anyone know?

With chickens it would be a minimum of 3 weeks - I'm not certain about quail. @Kiki can you help ?

I wait one week with my quail, and the offspring are visibly from the new male.
