You can take the eggs and leave them in a cool humid (not cold) environment for about 7-10 days. the longer you hold the eggs though, the more likely the egg will become non viable and will not hatch.

Whoever answered this question earlier is a moron, so sorry about that!^_^ I am looking for the same answer, so I can clarify the question a little bit better as to avoid the conflict you saw earlier.

"If you put a hen in with a rooster, how many eggs layed afterward will be able to hatch?" I'll keep an eye on this for you. Good luck!

A hen stays fertile for about 2-2 and a half weeks after the rooster is gone. The sperm stays in her for about that long, sometimes even up to 3 weeks.

How long can you leave a duck egg out without heat?

A chicken can go a few days without feed, but they dehydrate easily and need daily access to water. Care also needs to be taken if the water is in their living quarters. It should be in a container that is spill-proof. Wet litter or floor is one of the easiest ways to encourage insect and rodent invasion as well as causing fungal and bacterial overgrowth, and possible disease situations for the chickens.


Does only the hen hatch eggs?

No. Only hens lay eggs but hen hatched eggs are only found on small farms. Most fertilized eggs are artificially incubated and the chicks never see the hen who laid them. Chicken do not really benefit from the mother hen all that much anyway. Chicks are born able to feed themselves and instinctively know how to be a chicken. If you are asking if the rooster helps the hen incubate the clutch of eggs, then no, once the rooster has mated with the hen he is not involved.

When does an egg get its chicken?

Not all eggs get a chicken. But those that do are often laid by them. So those eggs get a chicken the very moment they come into existence. It is also possible that a foreign egg is adopted by a chicken. In that case the egg would get its chicken when it was adopted. There would be a time limit for this, as eggs cannot stay viable forever on their own.
