I would want my rooster to breed my hen for at least 2-3 days. Your hen can dump a rooster's sperm if she does not like him. I would make sure his presence is accompanied by nutritious treats that will help egg fertility. Can you put them in a garage or large pen in a basement?

OK, too early to be worried about this, but here goes.
I was wondering how often a hen needs to be serviced, or rather, how many eggs might be fertilized from a visit from the rooster.
Why you ask? My town doesn't allow roosters, so I would have to board him out, but I can bring him for a visit when I want fertile eggs... but how often would I need to do this?
Seeing as I don't have chicks yet, it's a bit early to worry, but if he needs to be there before every egg, it won't be practical.
Thanks.
