how often does a hen need to mate.....

[Long Last Farm]

with a rooster to keep the eggs fertile?

I think I heard a hen can lay fertile eggs for up to 14 days out of one mating. But, don't hold me to that.

The hen will lay fertile eggs for at least 2 weeks and may be as many as four after mating,
