I Read that they stay fertile up to 2 weeks later so there is a possibility.
But i might be wrong sorry |

| Hens store fertilised eggs in their system for about a month. You should get some chicks if you set them. Good luck! |

| Thanks for the advice. I will collect fresh eggs to put under her. How should I store them and do I have to turn them? |
