How long after first start mating for first fertile egg?

How long after first mating does it take for the hen to start producing fertile eggs?

Well tomorows egg is already on the assembly line at the time of mating, so I would think that the eggs wouldn't be fertile till the next day.But i would wait till day three to start collecting eggs for the bator if that's what your planing.
