No. The rooster makes the hen's eggs fertile. From your question, it sounds like you want a hen to hatch some eggs. If so, some breeds or crosses are far more likely to go broody than others. Also, particularly if the chickens are in a pen/run rather than free ranging, a rooster will discourage broodiness rather than encourage it. A rooster also reduces egg production - in both cases its because he chases the hens a little to control them and mate with them, so egg production drops.
What else can I help you with?
Is every egg of hen can give chicken?
Potentially yes, however that possible chicken can never be formed unless the hen and a rooster get together and mate. The egg must be fertilized first. The majority of eggs are not fertilized as chickens used to produce for the mass market never see a rooster. On my farm almost all egg are fertile, but I collect them daily, refrigerate them and they do not get a chance to develop an embryo unless I put them in an incubator or allow a broody hen to sit on them.
Do you need to refrigerate fresh chicken eggs?
yes they can, but only if the egg hasn't started its growing cycle yet. so a chicken can lay an egg and it can go cold for a few days, but once it starts growing (via incubator or broody chicken) it musnt go cold. if your using broody chickens to hatch the eggs let the chicken off no longer than 20mins a day to eat,drink water, dust bath and poop. PS the egg must be fertilized of corse. hope that helped brad.
A neutered chicken?
A neutered rooster is a capon. it is a surgical procedure performed on the young rooster or cockerel when it reaches about 1 pound in weight. both testes are removed . the cockerel then never reaches sexual maturity ,he still has some features of being male, tail feathers and such. but no crowing and not aggressive. they take a bit longer to mature ,they put on more body fat and very tender muscle.
A short person and a rooster's appendage?
Oh, dude, you're talking about a short person and a rooster's appendage? Well, technically, a rooster's appendage is called a comb, and a short person could refer to someone vertically challenged. So, if you put them together, you might get a short person admiring a rooster's stylish comb... or something like that.
Can you move a broody hen?
Do you mean move eggs being incubated? If you move eggs from under a chicken, she may move with them, or she may just leave them. If she has been sitting for a few days it is best to throw away the eggs. I have a very young chicken sitting right now, on all the eggs she can find! It remains to be seen if she will stay the course, or if the eggs are fertilized as the cockerel is quite old. I have moved eggs from where they were being sat on, but the chicken did not sit on them once moved. She was in a flower bed, and not really in a safe place. After about a week, she was disturbed by a hedgehog, at 2:00 in the morning. If a hen is determined enough, and you can somehow move her and the eggs simultaneously, it may work. They can be moved to an incubator and kept at the same temperature, but once left uncovered for a few hours, they are unlikely to hatch. ******************************************************************** Of course you can move chicken eggs. I have taken them from the coop and have put them in the incubator with an undetermined age of the eggs. After they are in the incubator I handle them with protective gloves to avoid contamination.

I have a black silky chicken and shes always on top of her eggs all day and she never mover from her spot what should i put next to her so she wont die just food and water or do i put somthing else?
your silky is probably broody and will remain this way until she hatch eggs or you break the broodiness it is unhealthy for a chicken to remain broody to long its is better to break the broodiness unless you want to hatch eggs. it is a breed of chicken know to become broody often... broody chicken usually sit on the nest and only come out a few time a day to eat quickly and poop quickly the best way to break broodiness is to isolate her on a wired floor not solid so she has a lot of ventilation she need to cool off underneath remove her nest as often as you can she should be returning to normal within a week, make sure she has food and water

How do you ferdilze a chicken?
If you want to get it done in a hurry, see a specialist in IVF with poultry. If you want to do it as nature intended, get a rooster, get a chicken, and put them together in a hen house. The rooster will do all the rest. Once they have mated, you may have a fertilized egg. If the hen sits on it, you should see some hatching action in about 21 days.
How do you hatch Japanese quail eggs without an incubator?
Use a broody bantam chicken to sit on them. Actually, peafowl farmers often use a broody hen to sit on peafowl eggs for the first seven days, then put them in an incubator for the remaining 21 days. This is done because there is something about the early development of the embryo that works better under a bird.
