how long do I have to wait till I get "true to type" chicks from them?

I know I have asked this question before but I forgot the answer, sorry. My cochin bantam hen just laid her first egg and she was around about five different roosters, I just seperated her with her cock and need to know how long I need to wait before I can hatch out chicks that will be pure cochins?

Thanks

I wait 5 whole weeks. I did a test hatch at the 4 week period, and still got some chicks sired by the previous roo!
