no.
this is like saying you only need a male to make a baby.
but female chickens do lay infertile egg's by them self's.
these egg's are eaten by us.
but to make baby chickens or chicks you need both male and female chickens.

∙ 13y agoIf you mean cross bred with other species then yes. It seldom happens but a chicken hen can be mated to a guinea hen. There have been other inter species results but it is not usual. If you mean can a male bird of another species come along and fertilize an already laid egg, then no. Eggs are fertilized inside the chicken before the egg is formed.

How do you use rooster in a sentence?
There's only room for one rooster in the hen house. The bantam rooster may have a tough time here.
How do you make hatching eggs?
You need the following. 1 (one hen) 1 (rooster) and a day or two for the rooster to practice his "dance". Eggs laid by a flock of hens with an active rooster within the flock will almost assuredly be fertile.
Can a chick hatch naturally by itself with only a chicken?
Use an incubator. small incubators are readily available and home built incubators are easy to make.
Would your fertile hen eggs hatch just siting in hay?
No the hen must sit on the eggs to keep them warm, or use a heat lamp.
Will a chicken sit on eggs which are duds?
Yes, not all eggs hatch even when a brood hen tends them. "Fake" eggs are available for use when a breeder needs a hen to hatch only a very few eggs. The hen will care for any egg in the nest when she broods.
How do you do eggshell fertilizer?
There are two ways to make an eggshell fertilizer. You can simply dry out and crush the eggshells and then bury them in the dirt around your plant (a few eggshells is all you need). Alternatively, you can boil eggshells in water, let them steep for about 8 hours, and then use the calcium-enriched water to water your plants.
What does snuff the rooster mean?
"Snuff the Rooster" is an old expression meaning to extract a rooster from a hen house. Roosters are very territorial birds and highly protective of hens. Farmers use to try to keep their rooster(s) separate from their hens and the hen house, unless, of course, the farmers wanted breed the birds. If the rooster got into the hen house then they were difficult to get out because they would become aggressive due to all the hens being around. In order to get the rooster out of the hen house farmers would first remove all the hens and then fill the hen house with smoke. The rooster would begin snuffing the smoke and would eventually leave the hen house. Whenever a rooster would get in the hen house farmers would tell each other it was time to snuff the rooster and that's how the expression "Snuff the Rooster" came about. In times of war the expression is used as well meaning to kill or extract the person laying cover for their group (platoon, companies, units, etc...). The person laying cover is consider the rooster. It's a comparison to a real rooster because the person laying cover is given a violent/aggressive role to protect the group much like how a real rooster behaves when around hens. Usually the rooster is given a weapon that has a lot of fire power and sometimes this weapon is given the name rooster as well. The expression has been popularized from a song by Alice in Chains called "Rooster".
How do you use the word hen in a sentence?
Example sentence - She had to move the hen off the nest in order to pick up the eggs.
Should a hen who is setting on infertile eggs be discouraged of this behavior?
There is disagreement about this. It most depends on what you use your hen for. If you use them as incubating machines, then no (she might not go broody as often). If you are selling hatching/eating eggs, then yes, it should be discouraged.
What is a banty rooster?
Banty is short for Bantam. The old folks back in the day just always call Bantam Roosters, "banty" roosters. In addition this term is used to describe the behavior of some short men who may tend to walk with a swagger and adopt a somewhat exaggerated male posture. They are called banty roosters after the bantam rooster both because of their size and because their behavior can "out-rooster" the more standard sized rooster. Bantams are about 1/4 the size of what is considered a "regular" chicken. They are sometimes referred to as domestic game birds. Most people raise them as pets, unfortunately there are those who still raise and use them to fight. A Banty rooster will try with all his might to mate a standard hen. Whether he can actually make the connection to fertilize eggs is a whole nother question.
What part of the rooster's body do they use in attracting the hen?
Chickens don't really spend any time in a sexual "dance" or display. The rooster is with the hens 24/7, he is the sexual aggressor, and the hens have little to say about it. If they run away (there is no "heat" or estrus period), the rooster will catch them, unless something else catches his eye. If there is more than one rooster, the most dominant one will breed first with a hen. Then all his brothers come around to take their turns. Yes, there's gang rape in the flock, and the hen can never call foul.
What do you use to incubate eggs?
It is always preferable to use a broody hen. Hens don't care where the eggs came from, once they go broody, they will sit on a golf ball. You can put eggs from other birds under the hen. When a brood hen is unavailable then an artificial incubator is the next best thing. Incubators are available from all feed and grain supply stores and on-line for under $100.
