Fertilizing eggs

[Karen48]

We just put Butterscotch(Buff Orf Rooster) in with the girls (4 various breeds) How long does it take for the eggs to be fertilized so we can incubate?::

 

[crazychicken]

They become fertile when the next egg the hen lays after the roo does his um...... job

The standard is to wait 2 weeks before collecting eggs but about 3 days after they should be fertile. If another roo had access to her before then I would wait the 2 weeks.

 

[crazychicken]

Yes because it take two to three weeks for the other rooster's stuff to work it's way out of her system. so if you want your eggs pure I would wait.
