Raina Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hi all, Before Astrid came to us she used to be with cockerels. So what I'm asking is, if she had been mounted how long will she be laying fertile eggs for? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 about 12 days I believe. Our girls had been with a cock when we got them, so I saved all four eggs that she laid the following week and all four hatched! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 They can lay fertile eggs for some time, I've set eggs 3 weeks after the cockerel was removed from the pen bear in mind though that you really want to set eggs no older than about a week so if the hen is laying daily collect them for 6 or 7 days maybe?
