[bigdawg]

i hope i posted in the correct place. i removed my rooster to give the hens a break and to grow some feathers back. they are running around naked. what i need to know is how long will the hens lay fertile eggs. after that the coop gets cleaned,birds dewormed, and coop and birds sprayed for lice and any thing else thats crawling. thanks

Couple of weeks I think.

Somebody...?

They are living animals. It can vary. It can be as little as maybe nine days. It can be three weeks. Two weeks is a pretty good average to use.

ive heard as long as a month but i think most is about a week or two

Two weeks for sure, three weeks maybe, and four weeks occassionally.
