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)

∙ 7y agomuch like periods in women, hens lay unfertilized eggs because they are always producing egg shells (made of keratin and protein). when not fertilized they hen must get rid of it by laying an egg. most egg farms will only have hens to produce edible eggs which must be unfertilized in order to be told to the food market.

Where egg sperm produce and meet?
Eggs are produced in the ovaries of females, while sperm are produced in the testes of males. The meeting of egg and sperm typically occurs in the fallopian tubes, where the egg is fertilized by a sperm to initiate pregnancy.
How does the sperm go about keeping the egg fertilized?

Is the egg white made out of sperm?
No it isn't. Eggs sold as food in grocery stores or supermarkets are not fertilized, they have received no sperm. The egg is produced entirely by the hen, with no contribution from the rooster. Even if the egg has been fertilized, the sperm is microscopic, and it only contributes to the genetics of the resulting embryo, not to the egg white.
