Just as a human female will make an egg once a month for a certain period of her life, the chicken will make an egg once every 20 hours. The difference is the time factor and the chicken's egg has a shell. A male does not have to be around for the human to make that egg, and it's the same with the hen.
What the male of the species is important for is fertilizing the egg to ensure a next generation.
