Do hens and roosters mate and how?

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.

Do duck eggs come out of there butt?

No. A chicken lays it's egg through a cloaca, which is a common cavity into which the intestinal, genital, and urinary tracts open in vertebrates such as fish, reptiles, birds, and some primitive mammals. In other words, its like an all-in-one common, primarily exit, vent for the hen. The vagina in the chicken acts as the passage from the uterus to the cloaca. Chicken vaginas also have reservoirs for storing sperm. So while in the real world, in the hen, sperm from roosters are used for reproduction, and, it should be noted that hens do not need roosters to produce eggs; hence, the unfertilized eggs are the ones for human consumption.
