Defineltly not! For a chick to be produced in the egg it must be fertilised so the hen needs to have had sex then. However unfertilised eggs do not require anything from the male, as in human females.

no, laying an egg is the same as a lady ovulating, in order for that egg to be able to hatch then yes they need to have sex, if not it just remains a plain old egg.

No. They will lay every 25 hours regardless. It will only hatch if it has been fertilised.

Nope, hence unfertilized eggs or fertilized eggs.

No, something is given to them in their feed. That's what I have been told anyway.
