Posted February 4, 201213 yr i was reading online that with one successful mating a pair will be fertile up too two weeks true or false? and i read somewhere else that the eggs get fertilized just before getting laid with a successful mating that took place on that same day or moment before it being laid im just curios to know more info thanks
February 4, 201213 yr The hen can store sperm for about 2 weeks so a whole clutch can be fertilized with one mating. Probably mating regularly would have a better chance getting all the eggs fertilized

Engaging in regular mating sessions may increase the likelihood of fertilizing all the eggs." It's worth noting that factors like the hen's age, health, and the rooster's fertility can also influence the success of fertilization. for more info read this blog click here
