No. You do not need a Rooster ( no such thing as a male chicken) to get a chicken to lay eggs. Eggs are produced based on daylight paterns. The rooseter is only needed if you want to fertilize the eggs.

∙ 11y agoNo, hens do not need a male rooster to lay eggs. Hens will lay eggs (usually one a day) just as human females ovulate (every month) with or without a male. However, hens need a male for the eggs to be fertilized so that they will hatch into chicks. Either way, fresh fertilized eggs are as fine to eat as are fresh unfertilized eggs. FYI: You can tell if an egg has been fertilized if it has a white spot on the yolk but that spot doesn't spoil the egg.

∙ 12y agoNo. guineas will lay unfertilized just like a chicken but if u want chicks they obviously will require a male
