Question on eggs.

[PhlyinPheBee]

I just got a new cochin hen. She was free range with several other breeds of roo including several other cochins. If I were wanting to hatch out the eggs that she lays:::

How long can the sit out before going in a incubator??

How long will the eggs be fertile for??

When putting in with the cochin roo we also got how long will it be before the eggs are all cochins??

Thanks for any info.

How long can the sit out before going in a incubator??
Up to ten days or so, but sooner is better.

How long will the eggs be fertile for??
two weeks to a month

When putting in with the cochin roo we also got how long will it be before the eggs are all cochins??
a month to six weeks to be absolutely sure.
