Yes. It's how we get roosters.
A female has a little bit of feathers on its head and a male doesn't. Also, a rooster (male chicken) crows; a chicken clucks, and a rooster fertilizes eggs, whereas a chicken or hen (female chicken) lays eggs.
They lay eggs to reproduce, even if there is no male.
Because they are not fertalized by a male chicken
No a male chicken cannot lay an egg.
They lay eggs daily, but if you want chicks you have to have a male to fertilize the eggs.
The very young, the very old and of course the male chicken which is called a rooster.
Well..... A female chicken lays eggs and if a male chicken fertilizes it then the egg will turn into a chick, however if the egg is not fertilized it becomes eggs that we eat!!
A hen IS a chicken. The female chicken as opposed to a rooster (male).The answer to your question is A hen chicken is used for laying eggs.
Yes! Eggs from male chickens are so small as to be invisible to the human eye. Male chickens are much better at egg concealment tactics also. None have ever been found.Lets get back to earth shall we? Male chickens commonly known as roosters do not lay eggs. Only the female of the species lays eggs. They are fertilized by the rooster before they are produced by the hen.
No. The PeaCOCK is the male of the species of bird called PEAFOWL. Not surprisingly, it is the female of the species, PeaHEN, which lays the eggs. The eggs are a bit bigger in size than a chicken's egg.
No. A hen will lay eggs regardless of a male partner as long as she is kept comfortable and happy. A male is needed if you plan on breeding more chickens though as he is needed to fertilize the eggs.
Hens are chickens.Hens are female chickens and lay eggs.Roosters are male chickens and do not lay eggs.So your answer is YES, you need a hen to lay eggs.
