Do roosters lay eggs

Answer 1

Roosters do not lay eggs.

All roosters are males.

Actually some Roosters do lay an egg. It is 1 egg at the time they become mature and then never lay again. This I know because I not only have raised chickens and been around them my whole life but the Asian Rooster is known for it's ability to lay its one egg. The eggs will be very small. The can be as big a a pigeon egg but will never be the size of even a small chicken egg.

No, roosters are male. Chickens or hens lay eggs.

Another more complex answer

Once in a while you may hear stories about how a hen changed into a rooster. These stories are often dismissed as crackpot tales, but in fact, sex reversals do occur. You must understand however this happens very, very infrequently.Spontaneous sex reversal from male to female has never been credibly reported.

With spontaneous sex reversal from hen to rooster, only the phenotype is altered. Genetically, the bird remains a female, but externally it will appear to be male. This makes it possible that prior to becoming a "rooster" the hen may have laid an egg(s). The egg(s) very likely will be malformed because it is disease that causes the sex change

All case studies of spontaneous sex reversal show it to have been the result of disease. Ovarian cyst, tumour or diseased adrenal glands which have resulted in damage to the left ovary. Typically, pullets only have one functional ovary, the left. The right ovary and oviduct are present in the embryonic stages of all birds including males, but usually never develop in chickens. Residual tissue in the right ovary grows in the absence of a functional left ovary. This regenerated right gonad is known as an ovotestis and may contain tissue characteristic of the ovary, the testes, or both. Most, of these affected birds will never lay an egg prior to the change or sire offspring afterward. The "ovotestes" are steroidogenically functional and secrete androgens, as well as estrogens. The birds actually develop secondary male characteristics. So while the bird is genotypcially female, it will be phenotypically male.
