A Chicken fact

I didn't know this fact untill my co-worker who raise chicken in her back yard told me:

If chicken lay eggs without a rooster, eggs will never hatch. So chicken have to be paired with a rooster to have chicks.

Just FYI :D

Same with humans the egg has to be fertilized.

That is true. But chicken will lay eggs regardless of whether its fertilized or not. Initially, I thought that all eggs will hatch if chicken sat on it :)

Smokey, seems like nobody told you the facts of life. :blush2: :wink5:

Pre menopausal women ovulate once a month. Lots of eggs are never fertilized.

If you're not raising chicken, that fact might scape you :)

Or chickens that don't know facts of life :D

I asked the coworker who raise chickens, and she said chickens instinctively will sit on the egg whether they fertilized or not.

I think that this is one of the weirdest topics ever posted here.

Mwa ha ha ha!!!! (Giggle... Snort)! C'mon Smoke ole man... You're 'avin' a piss with us aren't ya?

Worf

It appears that Smokey's topic is timely.
