How long does a roster have to be with a hen for fertile eggs?
Not even a minute!

Do hen turkeys lay eggs without a tom turkey present?

How can you tell if the eggs are fertile?
Do you have a Rooster living with Hens? If so, chances are, yes, the eggs will be fertile. If the hen is brooding, meaning she is sitting on top of the egg to keep it warm, then it's probably fertile, if not, then it's not fertile. In any case should you have a rooster and a hen together, and the hen lays an egg, and it doesn't brood, then you should keep the egg warm. I think to check just hold the egg up to a light lol.
Will all eggs laid by hens grow and develop into embryos?

How do chickens get fertile?
Chickens become fertile through the process of mating. A rooster will transfer sperm to a hen by mating with her, which then fertilizes the eggs as they are being developed in the hen's reproductive system.
Do eggs start developing the day they are hatched or when they are put in an incubator?
Fertile eggs start developing when the hen starts setting, or when they are put in an incubator.
What happens if setting hen gets off nest and eggs get cold before she returns?
if an egg gets cold the embryo will die. if the hens are brooding they will almost never get up that long. however it is not impossible for an egg to survive. fertile eggs can be refrigerated and still hatched as long as the embryo has not yet started to develops.
