Question about fertility

[kyle7630]

How long will a hen lay fertile eggs after being seperated from a roo?

Hi! Here, for between 2 and 3 weeks.
I read they *can* lay fertile eggs for longer, but 3 weeks has been the longest I've seen.
Usually, it's closer to 2 weeks for me.

I agree - about two weeks.

Ok thanks, I got 4 hens that were with a roo and I may put some eggs in the bator. It's only been 5 days so they should be good to go I hope.

Two weeks is safe to assume, but they can be fertile for up to a month.

Good luck!
