Fox took my rooster :-( Will my hens still be laying eggs fertilized by him?

We had a day time visit from Mr Fox on Saturday. He took my rooster and a hen while they were out free ranging.
I would like to know the chances of the eggs that are being laid now by my 2 remaining hens still being fertile.
It would be nice to incubate them and get son out of my lost soldier.

Thanks.

Should be fertile for about 5 days

I agree but it's possible that they are fertile much longer. I've heard of people hatching eggs when the roo was gone for well over a month.

I just recently hatched eggs from a lost rooster like your case. Didnt put them in the incubator till week later. They all hatched

At least sevral days. Like the last poster said it sometimes can be longer but you for shure have 5 or 6 days to gather eggs . You could of course gather for a good solid week and just know there is a chance that a couple may not be but you have a pretty good chance. Im sorry for your loss .
