er..the **** gets together with the hen - the next batch of eggs are therefore fertilised and will hatch into chicks. No cockeral no fertilised eggs and more for us at breakfast with soldiers.
Hey anonymous some of those ducks, the mallard for one, have amazing todgers for their size! Once seen never forgotten!

When birds mate, the male produces sperm from the testes which enter the cloaca, the joint 'pouch' which links together the urinary, reproductive and gastro-intestinal tract. The male lines up his cloaca with the female's cloaca such that sperm is passed from the male to the female. (Some groups of birds have a very tiny penis-like organ in the cloaca to aid this purpose, whereas other just invert the cloaca slightly.) The sperm then enter the female's cloaca and swim into the female reproductive system.
The hen produces an egg roughly every 23 hours. The yolk is the 'egg' in the reproductive sense, i.e. the gamete, and is released from the ovary. Fertilisation of the yolk by the sperm needs to occur within an hour or so of the yolk being released by the ovary, and so occurs within the female.
As the yolk is passed down the reproductive tract, it is coated in the albumin (egg white), membrane etc. This is why fertilisation must occur soon after ovulation; sperm have difficulty reaching the yolk to fertilise it once it is covered.
Most of the time taken to lay an egg results from the egg resting in the uterus, where it is covered in the various mineral salts (in particular, calcium) required to create the shell. Once the shell is complete, the egg is passed into the cloaca and laid by the hen.

hot chicken sex.
the hard shell around the egg is formed after the egg is fertilized (or not fertilized in most cases)

Sex
The cockeral jumps on top and puts sperm in the hen and she builds and egg around it.

OK, right, male birds don't have a penis so what they basically do is line up the male hole with the female hole and them ejaculate (messy and gross).
Most birds use internal fertilisation the same as humans (i.e. they have sex), but external foetal development (IE the egg).

weeble316, good answer, just an interesting point, the calcium surface doesn't harden until the egg is laid, that's why the distinctive egg shape, as the egg is squeezed, then pinched.

He shags the chicken with his ovipositor - what did you think - by osmosis?
