No no no. They want to know how long a hen needs to be without a roo, so it can be purebred with a roo of the same breed.

I knew what they were asking. Keep the hen segregated for ten days. Then candle one of her eggs to see what it looks like. Then intro to the desired Roo for a week or so depending on how many eggs you want in the clutch.

What about if there are two different breeds of roosters and they are both mating with the one hen. could the chick be a mix between the two roosters?

Nope, only one sperm cell can fertilize the egg so only one rooster would be the daddy.
