How long does my pullet need to be away from one cockerel before I can safely collect eggs from a different cockerel? I am new to this, one has gone broody and I want to use a different cockerel with the hen that isn't broody. Thanks

I've been told 2 weeks, but others say 3.

I had them fertile after two weeks seperation. If these are crucial matings that need genetic controls by you. The only safe way is to go 4 weeks seperation.

Thank you both. I will wait until next year or next time because I don't have time as BB is setting now. I will leave a few eggs with her & see if any hatch.
