Rhode Island Red Chicken
|
Chicken Facts  Chickens are called Hens Male chickens are called Roosters Hen lay eggs, roosters do not. When a hen lays an egg it will only hatch into a chick if a rooster has fertilized the egg by mating with the hen. The hen and rooster must mate before the egg is laid in order for the egg to be fertilized. if a rooster does not mate with the hen the eggs will not be fertilized. Hens will lay eggs even if the rooster is not present. If you crack a raw egg and there is a red dot inside the egg, that means the egg was fertilized. Most eggs you buy in the store are not fertilized. |
