Reproduction of Chicken

Chickens require a rooster for fertilization to occur. During mating, the rooster jumps on the hen and their cloacas touch, allowing the rooster's sperm to enter the hen and potentially fertilize eggs. If an egg is fertilized, it will develop into a chick over the course of approximately 21 days of incubation. Unfertilized eggs produced by hens without a rooster will only remain as eggs and will not hatch.

REPRODUCTION

OF CHICKEN

Group 1 | Presentation
Can a hen lay an egg without a
male rooster?
Fertilization of eggs can
only occur with the help of
male rooster. If not, the egg
will remain an egg and no
chick will be born from it.
How do chickens fertilize
eggs?
The rooster jumps on top of the hen and
breeds her. Once the rooster is on top of the
hen, he will reveal his cloaca. At the same
time, the hen will open up her cloaca. The
two of them will touch. As they do, the
rooster's sperm will be released into the hen.

The formation of the egg starts
with the yolk. If the hen has
mated with a rooster, the yolk is

oviduct.
Then, the yolk travels down the
oviduct into the magnus. As the
egg goes down the tube, it is now

How do chickens lay eggs?

A chicken lays her eggs through the


cloaca or vent after incubation. Hen
do not lay more than one egg per
day.
How long does it
takes a chicken egg to
hatch?
The incubation period of a chicken is roughly 21
days, at which time the egg should hatch. It is
possible, however, that this process may be
delayed by a week as a result of inappropriate
temperature levels.
