Bramble Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Hi! Just collected my chucks from their holiday home and while they've been away they've been getting visits from the resident cockerel. Now, assuming that 'nature took it's course', I was just wondering how long after their last contact with the cockerel they would be laying (possibly) fertile eggs? Noodle laid in the box on the way home and presumably that egg could be fertile, but what about those laid from tomorrow onwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I've read somewere that it's about 10 days the eggs are still edible my girls run with a cockerel and I still use the eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 They will be fertile for about seven to ten days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
