can hens lay eggs without a rooster
Hens and Eggs. Hens will lay eggs regardless of whether or not they are being kept in the company of a rooster. Your laying hen's body is naturally intended to produce an egg once every 24 to 27 hours and it will form the egg regardless of whether the egg is actively fertilized during its formation.he only reason you would need a rooster is if you want your eggs to be able to hatch into chicks. A broody hen can sit on fertilized eggs until they hatch or the eggs can be placed in an incubator and cared for artificially until they hatch.
