Mating and fertilized eggs?

[BantyChickMom]

If a hen mates with 2 different color/breed roosters, will she have fertilized eggs from both roosters?

 

[hatchcrazzzy]

yes she will

 

[firechicken]

If I could jump in with a question too, after mating how long will the hen lay fertilized eggs? If they mated just once, or say for just one day together.

IFhe does get her there can b Fertile for 2 weeks i think

 

[speckledhen]

Two weeks for sure, but there have been cases of definite fertility after an entire month, though those are rare. Two to three weeks would be how long, in general.

Thanks siz and speckled, I have been wondering about that for awhile now.
