Hard to tell if you do not collect daily. Any suspect eggs should be given the "float" test. Floating eggs are bad/stale/unusable. If the eggs are for your own use just crack them in a bowl first and check that they are good.

Does only the hen hatch eggs?

No. Only hens lay eggs but hen hatched eggs are only found on small farms. Most fertilized eggs are artificially incubated and the chicks never see the hen who laid them. Chicken do not really benefit from the mother hen all that much anyway. Chicks are born able to feed themselves and instinctively know how to be a chicken. If you are asking if the rooster helps the hen incubate the clutch of eggs, then no, once the rooster has mated with the hen he is not involved.

Will fresh eggs float in fresh water?

I just had this happen to me and looked it up on an egg site. Floaters are older eggs and can be cracked open to determine if they are edible (no stench-you will know!). They float because of an increase in the carbon dioxide inside the shell as it ages. But it is better to be safe. So if you are hard-boiling, throw it out. If you are cooking eggs, you won't know it's a floater, but you're opening it anyway. Also, in making pan eggs, crack the egg into a container, not directly into the pan. If you have a bad egg hit a hot pan, the house stink is unbelievable; it happened to me once.


Is a chicken a sexual reproduction?

No, not that I know of. Chicken is the species. A rooster is a male chicken. A hen is a female chicken. A chick is a young, undeveloped chicken. YMT.

In a group of chicken eggs how do you know which are fresh and which are old?

To check the difference between a fresh and a spoilt chicken egg , you first need to do the following steps : 1) Put the egg in some water . 2) Heat it for about 2minutes or more , but remember ! not to let the water boil . If the egg floats on the water it is fresh , while if it sinks down it is a spoilt (old) one.
