Do you need a rooster to make egg?

Here's why:

* Hens are the egg-layers. Hens have the reproductive organs that produce eggs.

* Roosters fertilize eggs. A rooster's role is to mate with the hen, which can fertilize the egg and allow it to develop into a chick.

* Unfertilized eggs are still edible. The eggs you buy at the grocery store are unfertilized, meaning they haven't been fertilized by a rooster.

So, even if you have a flock of hens without a rooster, they will still lay eggs.
