Can you add eggs to a setting hen when the first eggs have been under her for 10 days?
You should not do this. The eggs that are already there will hatch much sooner, the hen will continue to set on them but the older chicks will bully the late one's and often kill them unless you separate them. Eggs only take 21 days to hatch so if your hen has been on the nest continually for 10 days you are too late to add eggs.
How often must a hen be fertilized?
Hens can live a whole life without fertilization and still lay fresh eggs just as frequently as hens who are mated regularly. To produce fertilized eggs for hatching, hens must be mated about once weekly.
