Can an chook egg b ferterlized without a rooster?

Here's why:

* Eggs are female sex cells: A chicken egg is essentially a female sex cell (an ovum) that is waiting to be fertilized.

* Rooster provides sperm: A rooster provides the sperm that is needed to fertilize the egg.

* Fertilization process: When a rooster mates with a hen, the rooster's sperm travels to the hen's oviduct and fertilizes the egg. This process is necessary for the development of a chick.

So, if there is no rooster present, the egg will not be fertilized and will not develop into a chick. However, the egg will still be laid by the hen, and it will contain all the nutrients and protein that make it a good source of food for humans.
