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.
