Hen Fertilization Cycle

[skcrosthwait]

I have raised chickens (Orps, RIR) in the past and I am going to be raising some Silkies soon. I got to thinking the other day about fertility and some basic genetics. If a white Silkie hen was mated with a blue Silkie rooster how long would his sperm reside in her cycle? If another white rooster then mated the same hen would his sperm dominate over the other roosters?

2 weeks.......sperm travels together so you would have a 50/50 on daddy's if 2 got to her. Like girls who have twins and one is white and the other african american. It has happened in paternal twins.
