Yes they defiantly can :)
I have 3 Hens no Roster here and we get eggs daily
Roosters don't lay eggs. Hens do.
Hens are mom chickens and roosters are dad chickens. Only mom chickens, hens, lay eggs. They lay eggs all year.
No, Bantam roosters do not take care of eggs, his job is to fertilize those eggs, guard the chickens from predators, and crow.
He makes hens eggs fertile. Hens lay eggs without a rooster, so unless you want more chickens, you do not have to have a rooster around. Roosters tend to be bad tempered and actually hens lay MORE eggs without a rooster around. Roosters are constantly bothering the hens for sex and are very aggressive about it so the hens get quite frazzled about it. Roosters can sometimes pluck all of a hens feathers out chasing her around grabbing her for sexual purposes. They also crow loudly before dawn breaks every morning for about half an hour. You can always get more hens at a hatchery.
NO, hens lay eggs without roosters at all. The only thing roosters do for eggs, is fertilize them (Threw Mating) so that a chick can hatch.
At his funeral, or when he can't chase and catch the hens.
Yes. Any Animal Needs To Be Mated with, to either give birth or lay eggs.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Improvement: other then the chicken which doesn't need a male to lay eggs
No. Hens will lay more when there is less stress put on them, and having roosters - especially too many per hen, too large of a rooster, aggressive roosters, etc - will cause the hens a lot of stress.
Yes, roosters can lay eggs; however, this statement is misleading as roosters are male chickens and do not lay eggs. Only hens, the female chickens, are capable of laying eggs. If a hen is not fertilized by a rooster, the eggs will not develop into chicks but can still be laid.
The females from all breeds of chickens lay eggs. Some hens stop laying when they are old, but there are no breeds or varieties of chickens in which the females do not lay eggs. Roosters, as the male of the species, never lay eggs.
No, chickens normally lay eggs once every 24 hours.. roosters wouldn't encourage the hens to lay more often.
Do you mean, can a rooster lay an egg? The answer is no. Only hens can lay an egg. Do you mean, will a rooster incubate an egg till it hatches? The answer is no, only hens incubate the eggs. Occasionally a rooster that doesn't know any better will sleep in the nestbox but he is not there to incubate and could actually break and eat the egg instead. Do you mean, will a rooster chick hatch out of an egg? Yes, both roosters and hens come from eggs.
