Best Answer

The sperm sac deposited by the rooster travels up the oviduct within hours after mating. If you have observed a specific hen mating with the rooster then the egg laid the day after and for the following 7 to 10 days should be fertile. Chickens do not need to mate for each fertile egg. After introduction to a new flock of hens, a working rooster should be given 10 days to get everything going. Once the rooster is active among the flock all hens receptive to his advances will be laying fertile eggs.

An egg only lives between 12 and 24 hours. And then it can no longer become pregnant.

It depends on the bird and on the conditions the egg is under.

a woman's eggs are never alive until they are fertilized, womans eggs may be viable but are not alive pre-fertilization. So the egg stays alive until the fetus inside it outgrows it.

They are often still active well past five years.

Depending on conditions a rooster can live to around ten years old but will slow down his mating habits after about five.
