fertility

[aandtg]

How long after I seperated my hens and roos will thee eggs be fertile? I seperated them a week and a half ago and I am wondering if I can place the eggs I get tomorrow into the incubator

Should be ok. Usually 2-3 weeks they are still fertile after separating.

Hello...I'm not sure on the timing, but you can crack a raw egg in a dish and look for the tiny white dot on it. If it has a white ring around it, creating a bullseye, it's fertile. Granted you loose that egg, but it just means you probably have more that are fertile.

High fertility for up to 2 weeks, moderate fertility for up to 3 weeks, and some fertility up to 4 weeks after the removal of a fertile rooster.
