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

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

I have been using one cock over several hens for years using various methods. I have found that regular mating is the only reliable way to get fertility.

A hen can retain sperm for approximately two weeks, allowing for the possibility of fertilizing an entire clutch with just one mating.

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
