How Long Does It Take For A Hen(chicken) To Lay An Egg After Being Mated By A Rooster?

Answer Question

    The Rooster doesn't have anything to do with when a hen lays her eggs. It takes between 26 and 30 hours for an egg to pass through the hen so every day she will lay a little later than the day before, usually they don't lay at night so she will skip a day or two occasionally and then start laying early in the morning again. They will lay eggs even if there is no Rooster but of course the eggs need a rooster for fertilisation.
