Egg fertilization

[Icrazyaboutu]

Do the roosters fertilize the eggs before or after the hens lay them? My sister think it is after they lay them and I have seen the roosters on top of the hens before, so that gives me the thought that it is before. Please let me know, Thanks!!!

When the roosters get on top of the hens they are fertilizing the eggs. The eggs are fertile as soon as the hens lay them.
