Does the rooster breed with the hen or does the hen lay the egg and the rooster spray pixie dust on top of it?

the rooster mates with a hen, the semen is stored in the oviduct (tube leading to fertilization) of the hen for later use. When she gets ready to lay the egg,a sperm fertilizes the egg before the shell surrounds it. The sperm is usable for about a month in the oviduct.

your first statement was right. The rooster breeds with the hen. Usually a rooster covers about 12 hens.

The roster and the hen mate and the egg is fertilised inside the hen before it lays the egg.

Roosters have sex with hens. Sometimes till death. Really weird. Have a nice holiday.

I know that the egg shell is hard. BUT it is very fragile. The Rooster goes to the freshly laid egg and it spits on it. The roosters saliva is absorbed through the shell and into the yoke. Just like that.

it ought to signify something. about a week to 10 days is a sturdy time to candle eggs as blood vessels ought to take position and probable a heart. do not peek and disturb them too a lot as they could abandon the nest. Take sturdy care of the mum and father and enable them look after the eggs and youthful.
