Yes a hen can be fertilized by 2 roosters.But one egg acn be fertilized only by one rooster.Sperm can live around 1week inside a Hen.During that period each eggs she produce daily will be fertilized by the lucky sperm among the sperms waiting inside the Hen.It need not be of single rooster.It can be the sperms of multiple roosters
