Rooster but no fertile eggs

I also have a rooster that is mounting but it’s been a month and still nothing and I mean he is a busy boy with 9 ladies but so far not a single egg has shown to be fertile. Were technically not allowed to have him so we don’t have much time for him to get us a few chicks before we have to get rid of him.
 
Hi there I have the same problem my rooster is mating my hens and I have quite a few chicks from him but my one hen's eggs just aren't becoming fertile.
I've hatched a few of her eggs so I know there is nothing wrong with her reproduction organs but the past few months she and the rooster have been mating but none of the eggs develop.
And it's also not the roo because I stil find fertile eggs from some of my other hens just not her.

She may just expel the semen after mating.
When a hen does not like the rooster or is forced to mate she can expel the semen with a squirt.
 
Is there anything i can do to help.
I realy want a few more of her chicks
You could get her a different rooster, but there is no guarantee that she will accept him unless she is able to choose the one she likes best.

I had this happen once with one of my more senior hens, but when I put her in one of my other flocks with several roosters to choose from, her eggs were fertile again after two weeks.
