How do chickens have babies?

Answer 1

Chickens are not born, they hatch from eggs.

The hen lays the egg and sits on it, keeping it warm, while the chick grows inside the shell. When it is big enough, it cracks the shell and emerges as a small chicken.
Chickens are born from eggs.

Answer 2

Chickens, like all birds, reproduce sexually by laying eggs. The male chicken (rooster) sits on top of the female chicken (hen) and lines up his cloaca (approximately equivalent to the anus in mammals, but sperm are ejected through the cloaca as well as digestive wastes) with the hen's cloaca. Once the sperm are deposited within the hen, the hen's reproductive tract carries the sperm to near her ovary (chickens only develop one ovary - the other is residual) where the sperm can fertilize her eggs.

Answer 3

Chickens (or hens) lay eggs, if a rooster (male chicken) has fertilized the egg, then the egg will have the beginnings of a chick (baby chickens). Eggs, (what humans eat) are unfertilized baby chickens.

Answer 4

Chickens mate in a manner that is similar to other birds. The male stands on the back of the female as she squats and extends her wings. She lifts her tail feathers which allows the male to fertilize her from behind. It happens rather quickly, and the hen shakes herself off after they are done mating.

Answer 5

Chickens lay eggs that develop into baby chicks after being incubated for about 21 days. The hen will sit on the eggs to keep them warm until they hatch. The chicks will then peck their way out of the shell and begin their life outside the egg.

Answer 6

Chickens do NOT "give birth". After mating with a rooster, chickens lay fertilized eggs and sit on them in a nest, keeping them warm until the eggs hatch.

Answer 7

They get on top of each other and...have sex like any other animal

Answer 8

The male rooster must fertilize the egg
