Chickens are not bound by human moral issues. It is wise to freshen the gene pool every few years by replacing the rooster to ensure healthy offspring. Yes, allow the rooster to mate with his flock.
Chickens do not need to mate in order to lay eggs. Hens will lay eggs regardless of whether or not they have mated with a rooster. However, if a hen does mate with a rooster, the eggs can be fertilized and potentially hatch into chicks.
No. Regular sized roosters can mate with Bantam hens, and Bantam roosters can mate with regular sized hens. The resulting offspring will be a small to medium sized chicken.
A rooster can successfully fertilize eggs from multiple hens. On average, a single rooster can fertilize between 10 to 12 hens, but this can vary based on the breed and age of the rooster, as well as other environmental factors.
Yes, it can be done but the bantam rooster may have trouble mounting the standard hen. Bantam roosters are gregarious and often present themselves as the "boss" bird. Many standard hens will assume the mating position close to the ground thus enabling the bantam rooster to mount the saddle area on the back of the hen. From this position the rooster must be large enough to touch cloaca to cloaca in order to deliver the sperm packet.
Yes Hens and roosters mate and its a good thing they do,otherwise the species would die out quickly. The rooster picks out a hen and does a "dance" for her. Stepping sideways,spreading his wings close to the ground and "sharpening" his beak in the dirt. The rooster approaches her from behind and grabs her neck feathers and she lowers herself almost to the ground in a squat position. The rooster stands on her back and touches his cloaca to her cloaca transferring a sperm sac. Roosters do not have a penis, both genders have a cloaca which is a dual purpose sexual and excrement organ often known as a "vent". Actual mating only takes seconds and when done the hen often shakes her feathers and preens, tiding up ruffled feathers while the rooster goes off to find another hen.
rooster
goose
yes any rooster will mate with any hen just give them time
a goose
No, a rooster cannot mate with a guinea hen to produce offspring because they are different species and cannot interbreed.
Sadly no, the sperm would only fertilize those of it own species. Not the same exact species (brown duck with Europe duck would work) other wise weed have bunny mouse.
because they want to mate with hens
Masculine is Gander, feminine is Goose
He is trying to mate.
sure righty there is x
A duck's mate is called a drake. The duck is female, the drake, male.
