ferilty

I have a Millie fleur D`Uccle hen who I just put the roo back in her pen.How long until her eggs become feritle again to put in the incubator,as she is laying again.

I'm not sure about this. I always waited a month to be on the safe side and I've had good luck waiting. Hopefully someone will have another answer.

I'd be interested in the answer for this as well.

I have an egg developing in the bator,that I had put in just to check ferility.The Roo had only been in the pen for a few days.They are Millie Fleur D`Uccles

Storey's guide says .....

If the hen laid an egg shortly before the mating it will likely fertilize the next egg.

So I would think you would not have to wait to long. If your roo is minding his buisiness.

i know that when you take a roo away they stay fertile for about 3 weeks

Millie was without a roo and raising 2 little ones.The first egg after I put fred back in,is not developing ,but the other eggs seem to be developing.
