All chickens will eat eggs. Most will not unless the egg has been broken as they will sometime break by accident and are a good source of food. If you have a bird that actually breaks eggs, she should be tomorrows chicken dinner.
Yes, the rooster should roost with the hens at night. He is the protector of the flock.
Yes, they can.
Yes.
we eat the rooster because the hen might have eggs
Ummm because roosters dont lay eggs...
Roosters don't get the hen pregnant but fertilise the eggs inside her. Chickens are born not from a Mother hen but come from the eggs she lays. The egg fertilisation process takes place when the rooster "Mounts" the hen.
None...only Polish roosters lay eggs.
chicks could come from both roosters as the hen stores sperm and releases it drop by drop as each egg is ready for fertilisation
Well a rooster is born with different parts than a hen. Hens can lay eggs and roosters can not.
No. A rooster can stay with the hen and her young at all times. It is best not to introduce a new hen with young to your flock.
No possible rooster from any foreign country lays eggs a rooster is a male so it can only fertilize a hen for able to make an offspring
Roosters are not the only ones that do this, in fact it is the hen that will most likely start to eat another dead chicken.
if the majority is on the roosters,the rooster will fertilize the hen. and in some conditions, the rooster will peck the hens feathers of. the roosters wood constantly be guarding it from coyotes, minks, (ect..)the hens wood constantly try to get away. if the number of hens is less than five or in that area,the hen wood have a hard time laying eggs. more eggs will be layed if influenced by other hens. its tradition to put wooden eggs in the nesting boxes to influence them. on the other hand, if theres more hens then roosters, they will spend time with each one, and fertilizing the hens. its best to have only two roosters, along with two emergency roosters.
If the hen has chicks it will be aggressive towards you or roosters are dangerous towards other male roosters.
Yes Hens and roosters mate to fertilize the eggs the hen produces
