How long can a hen hold a roos sperm?

[laseterlass]

I have a sizzle hen. I brought her home 2 weeks ago. She was housed alone With a rooster. she has just begun laying here and I would like to set the eggs. I have heard that they can hold the sperm for 3 to 4 weeks...?

I was thinking a week or 2 tops?

I have read on BYC two weeks is the usual but to be sure wait one month (if you are trying to use a new roo).

I would say you could try to incubate them, sure!
