Farmers keep chickens at home, usually both cocks and hens. But on the farm, there are only hens and no roosters. We know that animals usually produce offspring by mating. So, does the hen need the cooperation of the rooster to lay eggs?

Best answer:

No need. First of all, chickens can lay eggs without fertilization, but the eggs produced cannot hatch into chickens, and they are unfertilized eggs. Chickens can be hatched from eggs laid by a hen and a rooster, that is, the rooster only needs to cooperate when mating, and the hen does not need to cooperate when laying eggs.
