fertilized eggs

We recently got 4 roosters and added them to our flock of hens . How long before their eggs are fertilized ?

That depends on how soon the hens allow them to "do their thing". You need to watch the eggs as you use them. See the link below for what to look for.

How recent is recently? 2 days? 1 week? If they are mating the hens you should start seeing some fertile eggs.

You should have fetile eggs. Crack a few open and look for the bullseye on the yolk.
