No hens do not lay unfertilised eggs as fertilisation in hens is internal. But when she lays eggs the zygote is very small in liquid form,so hen sits on egg in order to provide it full warmth and when chick develops after 3 weeks the egg shell burst opens.

∙ 11y agoYes, hens will lay unfertillized eggs. When we buy eggs from the store, and you look at the yolk it is all yellow. If this egg was firtilized, it would have some blood spots in the yolk. To have your hens lay unfertillized eggs, all you need to do is have no roosters with the hens.

What happens if you put an unfertilised egg with fertilised eggs while the chicken is roosting?
Okay. To start off, you have a hen that will lay an egg about every 28 hours. If the hen has been with a rooster and the egg is fertilized, then the egg will hatch after some time. (I don't know the exact amount of time.) In other words, you DO NOT need a rooster to get an egg about every day.
