So here I sit pondering the facts of life....

When chickens mate - is it only 1 egg that is fertilized?
Or does it last for more than one lay??? lol

A hen will lay fertile eggs after a successful mating for about two to three weeks.

WOW! Thank you. I have believed for over 40 years that they could only lay 3 fertile eggs for each mating. I am not sure where I got that from, I think it was my grandma.
