If an egg hatches only when the hen mates with a rooster otherwise the laid eggs never hatch. What is the purpose of hen laying eggs regularly if it is not meant to hatch?

The act of laying the egg is natures way of ensuring that IF the hen is mated she can produce chicks. In the wild a hen may not have a rooster available at all times but will be capable of reproduction on the chance meeting of a rooster.
