There have been cases of hermaphoditism in poultry, that is one bird that has both male and female organs. How the bird looks and acts is determined by which organs are dominate at that time.
Here is a facinating link.

A hen IS a chicken. The female chicken as opposed to a rooster (male).The answer to your question is A hen chicken is used for laying eggs.
There is only one small difference between the eggs you buy from the grocery store and eat for breakfast and the eggs used to produce chicks. That difference is called a germinal disc. The eggs you buy from a store are not fertilized by a rooster and will never produce a chick. Fertile eggs come from a flock of chickens that have an active rooster mating with them. The germinal disc is so small it is almost invisible to the human eye.
Yes, the comb of a rooster is used in the making of Synvisc because the proteins in it are much like the proteins produced in joint fluid. Synvisc is a medication used to treat pain caused by osteoarthritis of the knee.
To scare crows away they do it because the people who made them make them look like people.
A crows nest is used for all different types of things such as looking out to sea for oncoming ships!
Crows are scavengers, so literally it means to die and be consumed by the crows. It was used by the Greeks the way we use "Go to Hell"
No The only time I have seen a rooster in a nesting box was when it was sick or injured. The nesting boxes are used for "nesting". Laying eggs or when brooding. The roosters do not do this. If you have a rooster doing this there is something wrong. He is either being harassed by another rooster in the flock or he is hurt or sick. It is easier to protect themselves from harm when in a "sheltered" place.
The breed of Rooster depicted on the Bantam Books and used as their logo is the Gallic Rooster or "coq gaulois" which is a symbol of France.
No. Eggs produced and sold in stores for general consumption are not fertilized and would not contain a forming chick. You could get a fertilized egg from a farmers market stand but hens used to lay eggs for eating are not kept with a rooster.
flipping things like pancakes...or you can make eggs with it (Albeit i make my eggs with a fork)
The standard collective nouns for crows are:a horde of crowsa hover of crowsa murder of crowsa muster of crowsa parcel of crows
They don't lay their eggs in a nest like a bird. They lay their eggs on anything that can be used as a food source once the eggs hatch.
