how long before my eggs will be fertile?

[julieschickens]

i added a rooster to my hens yesterday. how long will it be before the eggs she lays are fertile?

 

[Hangin Wit My Peeps]

It only took two days for my boy to make an impression...cracked an egg two days after I got him and it was fertile

 

[julieschickens]

how could you tell it was fertile?

 

[Hangin Wit My Peeps]

Crack it open and there will be a white dot on the yolk...if it's fertile that white dot will have one white circle around the dot

Your welcome

I had lots of fun with this and it was SO thrilling knowing my boy was doing his job and I could then hatch out some chickies!

Oh and a BIG
