Once hens are of a certain age, they will produce eggs.
If you want an unfertilized egg, don't put the hen with a rooster.
Depending on the breed, she will give you 1-6 eggs per week.
If you don't have a nest box for her, she will make a nest on the ground.
If you want fertilized eggs, place a rooster with the hen, make sure the
rooster knows his job, and the next day you may have a fertilized egg.
There is a way to tell if the egg has been fertilized once it's cracked open,
but through the shell, you can't tell until the egg is incubated and the
chick starts to develop.

How do chickens make unfertalized eggs?
Chickens lay unfertilized eggs as part of their natural reproductive cycle. The hen's ovaries produce an ovum (egg) regardless of whether it has been fertilized by a rooster or not. If the egg is not fertilized, it is eventually laid by the hen.
Is there a difference between the nutritional value of fertilized and unfertilized eggs?
Hens will lay eggs regularly without the necessity for fertilization. The only difference between a fertilized and unfertilized egg is that a fertilized egg has the potential to hatch and become a chick, while the other does not. Several prominent institutions have conducted studies comparing the nutritional values of fertilized eggs to unfertilized eggs. The result was that both kinds of eggs are nutritionally the same.
Is there any different in the nutritional value of the fertilized egg and unfertilized eggs?
There is no nutritional difference between a fertilized and an unfertilized egg. People prefer to eat unfertilized commercial layer eggs, so they don't feel like they are eating the next generation. Also a fertilized egg does not have as long of a shelf life as the unfertilized one does.
Why is a chicken egg a fertilized egg?
Not all chicken eggs are fertilized. Any egg that a chicken lays will be unfertilized unless there is a rooster around to fertilize the egg while it is inside the chicken.Chicken eggs are fertilized when a rooster is in with the hens. The rooster will breed with the hens to continute the chicken species. This is why eggs are fertilized. If you do not want your eggs fertilized, all you need to do is pull out the rooster, or roosters if there are more than one. This will cause the chickens to lya unfertilized eggs.When an egg is fertile it means it was in the beginning stage of hosting a baby. Basically, it is an egg from a hen that had previously had sex with a rooster. You probably don't want to think about that before eating them though. They are the most nutritious form of egg to eat.

Compare the egg yolk of the fertilized and unfertilized duck eggs?
egg yolk isyellow and fertilized is called balut
Do eggs have to be fertilized?
yes, there is no way a unfertilized egg can hatch
How is a fertilized egg produced?
To make unfertelized eggs the chickens are kept separate from the rooster because they don't need to have intercourse to produce eggs. The same applies to humans, women don't need to participate in intercourse to have a period. (P.S. humans release eggs too)
Can hens lay fertilized eggs before they have ever laid an unfertilized eggs?
I think it would be very unusual and rare, because a hen's first egg is usually deformed and small.
When will an egg die if not fertilized?
Technically, an unfertilized egg is not alive. Since this question is in regard to chickens...the egg itself will develop normally and will be laid by the hen. The unfertilized egg will begin to rot during incubation whereas a fertilized egg will start to develop into a chick.
