Hi this may seem a silly question but how soon after putting the cockerel in with the girls should I expect fertile eggs?

[Squiggly]

Not a silly question....Ive asked sillier ones 

Id be interested to know the answer too (sorry i couldn't help)

That's ok Squiggly he's been in with the girls for about a week and is having the time of his life!!!

Within 3 or 4 days   Remember that a hen has a chain of eggs "in production", and only the eggs which have not yet left are able to be fertilized.

Fertility can continue for upto one month after the cockerel is taken away!
