Roosters fertilize a chicken through sexual reproduction. Although roosters have testes, they are internal. Instead of a penis, they have a papilla. The rooster and hen connect and the hen is fertilized by the rooster through the cloacas (vents to their reproductive organs).

The rooster chooses a hen and approaches her in the yard. He will do a little side step dance, spreading his wings slightly and lowering his wings to touch the ground not unlike the position the hen must take for his mount.
He will do this dance moving closer and closer until he can get close enough to grasp her neck feathers in his beak from behind. At this point the hen will take a position as close to the ground as possible allowing the rooster who is still holding her feathers to mount her back. He will place both feet on the hens "saddle" which is the area just above her tail. Most hens in their prime will have bare patches in this area because of the roosters attentions.
The rooster, once he has gained his balance on the hens back will lower his vent or cloaca and the tail will lift slightly, the hen will lift her back end or cloaca at the same time and the cloaca will invert then both will touch. This is called the "cloacal kiss". A sperm sac will leave the rooster and enter the hens vent and then close up sending the sperm sac on it journey up the hens oviduct. Hen and rooster will not actually need to mate again for several days as there are enough sperm in each sperm packet to last for about 5 to 8 eggs. The rooster will dismount and the hen will shake, dust herself off and smooth ruffled feathers, then go about her daily hunt for food, while the rooster will immediately search for another hen and start the process all over.

The fertilization process happens in the hen, so the rooster has to mate with the hen in order to fertilize the eggs. This happens his and her cloaca meet (called a cloacal kiss), enabling the rooster to deposit semen inside the hen.

a rooster fertilizes chicken eggs by mating with a hen before the formation of a egg.

Rooster mounts hen. Rooster touches his cloaca to hen's cloaca (basically, their genitals) to deposit semen.

They mount the hen, and press their vents against the hens. Reproductive material is transferred, and then the egg is fertilized in the hens reproductive system.
