Fertilized egg possibility from deceased rooster

[bambi]

Is it possible for an egg laid from a hen could be fertile? you see my Rooster died 10 days ago and today a hen has gone broody, so do you think if the egg laid today has any chance of being fertile?

Was he your only rooster?
A hen stores sperm for up to 2 weeks.

Yes, he is the only Rooster. So 14 days would be the cut-off time then do you think?

I believe so. Update us if you see development in the eggs.

It would be lovely if you could hatch some of his offspring.
What did he look like?

You're right on the cusp of fertile/not fertile. Put in the 'bator and see where you are in about 5 days...

I have a broody so I thought it would be worth a try.

He was a Crele Old English Game Fowl. He was so gentle and such a fine Chicken would love to have a chick from him.
