Do you need a rooster to make chickens have eggs?

Here's why:

* Eggs are a natural part of a hen's reproductive cycle. Hens are designed to lay eggs, whether or not they've been fertilized.

* Fertilization is necessary for chicks. Roosters are needed for fertilization, which allows eggs to develop into chicks.

* Hens lay eggs even without a rooster. The eggs they lay without a rooster will not be fertile and will not hatch.

So, if you just want eggs to eat, you can raise hens without a rooster!
