   A hen's eggs will be fertile anywhere from 7-21 days after mating. It's a pretty big range and depends a lot on the individual birds. My rule of thumb is that for incubating eggs I figure they'll be fertile for a week, but if I have breeding pens set up and change roosters then I go with that they'll be fertile for three weeks.
