In order for an egg to form, two gametes must merge to form a zygote. Once this happens, the zygote matures to form an egg. If the gamete does not merge, then it simply passes out of the chickens excretory system

Chickens do not need a rooster to lay an egg. They lay eggs daily. Roosters only fertilize the egg they do not instigate the process. Commercial layers never see a rooster in their lifetime yet lay hundreds of eggs over 18 months.

How does pollen help a seed plant reproduce without water?

Pollen is the male reproductive structure of seed plants. It contains the sperm cells necessary for fertilization. When pollen is transferred from the male reproductive structure to the female reproductive structure (such as by wind or pollinators), it can reach the ovule without the need for water, allowing for fertilization and seed formation to occur.
