In the wild, the hen of the Gallus gallus would produce a continuous supply of ovum in anticipation of mating. Roosters were solitary and would not always be available for fertilization. Available light (seasons) determined the rate of production to maximize potential hatch of fertile eggs.

What would you do if your neighbor had a cockerel?
Get some young hens then borrow the cockerel, when it's mature enough, to breed to my hens.
Do cockerels lay eggs?
No. 'Cockerel' is another word for a rooster, and male birds do not lay eggs.
If a cockerel lays an egg on the border two countries who gets the egg?
No one! Because Cokerels don't lay eggs. Hens do.
Do you need a rooster to produce eggs?
NO, hens lay eggs without roosters at all. The only thing roosters do for eggs, is fertilize them (Threw Mating) so that a chick can hatch.

No, chicken eggs sold in stores are typically not fertilized. Hens lay eggs regardless of whether they have been in contact with a rooster, so most commercially available eggs are laid by hens without fertilization.

Can a hen lay eggs without a rooster and without artificial insemination?
Yes.A good hen will produce an egg every 23 hours. No sperm or artificial insemination needs to be involved unless you want the eggs to be fertilised. In this instance, the male would have to mate with female.However, hens lay eggs with or without any help from the cockerel/rooster.Hope that helps =]16 year old farmer.
