The growth hormone that triggers the growth of feathers in most common chickens is called biatenophase. It is not present in unfertilized chicken eggs. Unless the egg is fertilized and does not hatch than this is not possible.

How come the hens that are sitting on the eggs are losing feathers?

This is called molting. It is the time when chickens renew their feathers. Old feathers fall out and new one's grow back. The chicken uses much of their energy doing this and egg production slows when this happens.

Can chicken feathers grow back?

Yes, chicken feathers can grow back after they are molted or lost due to injury or stress. Chickens naturally go through a molting process, typically once a year, during which they shed old feathers and grow new ones. If feathers are lost due to other reasons, they can also regenerate over time, provided the chicken's health is maintained. However, the regrowth may take several weeks to months, depending on the chicken's age and overall health.

How come eggs don't taste like chicken?

After the mature egg hatches, most of the whites are gone. As the chick matures more, the bones and muscles develop and the feathers grow out. The chick is now completely different from the egg. It's called growing up, and you can't say that nothing changes physically at that period in life.

Do chicken feathers grow back after a dog attack?

Yes they do. We have 2 Dominique hens who were attacked by Jack Russel terriers. Feathers were everywhere and we assumed the birds were killed. We found both of them, bitten and stripped of feathers on their backsides. At the advice of our vet (why bring a $3.00 chicken for a $25.00 vet visit) we cleaned the wounds with warm water and kept the straw bedding clean and slowly the wounds did heal, the feathers grew back and you would not be able to tell they were ever attacked. Chicken are apparently very hearty birds.

How do you treat a chicken's back where the rooster has worn her feathers off?

To treat a chicken's back where rooster wear has worn off feathers, first separate the hen from the rooster to allow her feathers to regrow. Clean the area with mild soap and water to prevent infection. Apply an antibacterial ointment and consider using a chicken saddle to protect the area while feathers regrow.

What does a firtelized egg becomes 1a fruit 2a seed 3a leaf?

Here's a way to help you remember this: all eggs are the same, even plant eggs. Think about a chicken egg, like the ones you cook for breakfast. The egg is inside a shell, right? The plant egg is inside a shell too, only sometimes the shell is soft and tasty and called a fruit. Plant eggs grow into seeds, which then grow into new plants, just like a chicken egg would hatch into a baby chicken if a hen sits on it and keeps it warm. Leaves and stems are just parts of the plant, and not part of sexual reproduction - like the chicken's feathers and beak.
