There are many sites that explain how chickens mate however actual pictures are few and difficult to find The link here has a video. [I'm a n00b there is no link A DURR]
the term "gay" only applies to humans, but homosexual behavior has been observed in chickens.
Chickens become fertile through the process of mating. A rooster will transfer sperm to a hen by mating with her, which then fertilizes the eggs as they are being developed in the hen's reproductive system.
On the Internet of course...or in a book that is all about reproduction of livestock.
Eggs are fertilized inside the hen by the rooster. Hens will lay eggs whether they are fertilized or not.
No, they do not have to breed to lay eggs. If you don't get it, think of it this way: an egg is laid by a hen roughly every 25 hrs (it is a bit like a period, i suppose). The only difference breeding (mating) would make is whether the egg is fertilised (IE. If it would become a chick)
its called "spring mating"
YES IT DOES
because your cool...
their wings dont have much to do with laying eggs. but only chickens lay eggs without mating
Most ducks will lay eggs without mating, like chickens do, but the egg will not contain an embryo, and will not hatch without the male.
All chickens can and will lay eggs without mating. They will be infertile eggs like those you buy in the store for cooking and eating.

Yes, chickens for example, lay eggs without mating. That is where we get eggs for eating. The eggs sold in stores are not fertilized and can never hatch and become chickens.
Wonderfully good food available here.
if you want good pictures of bantam chickens go to cacklehatchery.com or mcmurray.com
You cannot train a rooster to stop mating with the hens. You can caponize the rooster by removing the testes and he will lose interest in mating. Chickens don't train really well and trying to train then not to do something instinctive is not going to work.
