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.

∙ 14y agoChickens 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.

∙ 13y agoNo, 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.

∙ 13y agoNo,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.

∙ 12y agoIf 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.

∙ 13y agoYes. 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.

∙ 14y agoYes. 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.
