I have not had the chicken math attack yet, owing to a severe case of dog math, cat math and fish math. But when one or more of my hens go broody, I am sure I will need some fertile eggs. How many fertile eggs are good per hen?

Since I don't have a rooster, I figure I am safe from chicken multiplying. I will stick with basic addition and hopefully no substraction.

Depends entirely on her size. Bantam hens can cover maybe 5 LF eggs, or a good 8-10 bantam eggs. LF hens can cover quite a few, because they will flatten out (looks so funny!) to cover a whole slew of eggs. Orps and JGs can cover quite a few - 15 or 16!
