Actually, it's quiet interesting. Birds lay eggs. Chickens are indeed birds. But chickens lay eggs not only for reproduction but as a hormonal process, remotely like that of a woman. A hen will lay eggs just as good without influence of a rooster. This is actually better because the eggs won't have a bloody yolk.
