no, the male and female must join in order to have a fertilized egg, the eggs hens lay without a rooster are in your fridge.
if I understand the question correctly, can a hen and a rooster mate to produce fertilized eggs if they are siblings?
yes.
Chickens do not have the same rules as people, so, yes, the rooster can mate with its daughter. Chickens only have to survive. They must eat and reproduce. They don't have temptation, guilt, or any of the human conditions.
No, hens are never homosexual in nature.
Not entirely true, there is one rare exception. Sex reversal has been documented in poultry where by a hen will physically transform into a cock. It's called sex-inversion and it is well documented. Although rare, it happens, and usually when there is a lack of an available rooster.
No,it's because if they breed their son or daughter will be abnormal.
Yes, unlike mammals, chicken inbreeding is relatively safe within3 to 4 generations.
You will not likely get abnormalities much before the 5th to 7th generation and most roosters do not last that long anyway. If you start with quality stock and freshen the flock yearly with select outsourced birds you will have no problems.
If your rooster mates with your hen, you can still eat the eggs from the hen or if the egg is still warm meaning the hen just layed it or has been sitting on it you can incubate it and have baby chicks.
Hope I helped!!
Yes. The rooster releases a sperm packet which can last for up to 10 days within the ovary of the hen releasing sperm on each ovulation.
Yes. Chickens interbreed all the time. It is best to add new stock to change up the gene pool every few years. Over the course of a few springtime hatches there are usually no major problems.
Yes
yes it can
It is likely that the roosters are aggressive, too rough with the hens, or that there are not hens in ratio to the amount of roosters.
chickens are always girls, roosters are boys :)
They are chickens. different genders of the same species.
The females from all breeds of chickens lay eggs. Some hens stop laying when they are old, but there are no breeds or varieties of chickens in which the females do not lay eggs. Roosters, as the male of the species, never lay eggs.
Old chickens are called hens or stewing hens. These are chickens that no longer produce eggs. Their muscles are tough and need to be stewed a long time to become a delicious treat. They make good chicken soup.
Hens are mom chickens and roosters are dad chickens. Only mom chickens, hens, lay eggs. They lay eggs all year.
You cannot train a rooster to stop mating with the hens. You can caponize the rooster by removing the testes and he will lose interest in mating. Chickens don't train really well and trying to train then not to do something instinctive is not going to work.
Yes. Hens only. No roosters.
From chickens, the same way chickens are born. A rooster comes from a hens egg. When a hen goes broody she will set on as many as 10/12 eggs for 21 days. of those eggs,usually about half of them will become hens and the other half roosters. This varies by up to 20% either way.
No, chickens normally lay eggs once every 24 hours.. roosters wouldn't encourage the hens to lay more often.
Roosters have a SPUR. Hens do not grow spurs. Spurs show at about 8 months old and older.
There are many sites that explain how chickens mate however actual pictures are few and difficult to find The link here has a video. [I'm a n00b there is no link A DURR]
