How Do Chickens Reproduce

A girl chicken is called a hen.

A boy chicken is called a rooster.

A hen lays an egg every day, but unless there is a rooster the egg will not be fertile and will never hatch into a baby.

The rooster jumps on the hen and breeds her and the egg gets fertilized inside the hen before she lays it. Chickens are not like fish or frogs where the egg is fertilized outside, with chickens the egg is fertilized inside the hen.

It’s important to keep an eye on the rooster and make sure he’s not too aggressive and hurting the hens. A polite rooster will do a little mating dance to trigger the breeding.

If there is a rooster with the hen the eggs she lays will be fertile, and if she sits on the fertile eggs for 21 days they will hatch into baby chickens.

At 57 someone finally give me ‘the talk.’
Learned something new today. Thank you

I'll have to have a talk with my rooster...so he can teach me the chicken dance

[maazbargir]

My rooster does the dance whenever I try to feed him by hand

So the rooster dance is basically them asking for consent. Love that!

This works for humans too. Instead of just the dance, the male tells the woman how much money he has and how he would be a great asset to her potential children genetically.

Oh god i just learned about chicken rape

[adamjohnston]

So basically just make sure the rooster isn't a rapist

I remember I was out in the yard with my little cousin. My rooster did a little dance and mounted one of my hens. My cousin thought they were hugging and I had to lead her away lol

[ltlredhen]

So he literally does "the chicken dance" that's funny!

[litefoot]

Either its getting very cold out, or by1:30 the rooster mating dance is getting more than the hens going! FANTASTIC!!!!

[BrandonSoum]

Thank you, Becky! This question was on my mind for the longest time!!

[LEGENDGAMING-qbqv]

[ryanlynch]

[reese]

Gave me the perfect answer in the 1st minute thank you

I was trying to sleep but I kept waking up because I didn’t know where roosters came from. I’m so stupid for a few minutes I thought hens only gave birth to females. Why am I so stupid, lmao.

At the beginning I almost thought this was the *talk*
