Some people may be surprised to learn that a rooster is not necessary in order for a chicken to regularly lay eggs. Then how do chicken eggs get fertilized?
ANY IDEAS ABOUT THIS TOPIC?

Does a rooster have a penis? -
How much semen can the hen store in her internal sac? Or, to put the question differently, how often must the rooster run with the hens? If you don't want a permanent rooster, they make too much damn noise at 4am, could you bring him once a month say to do his business?

As a pastry chef I have found a few fertilised eggs from shop bought eggs. But that is maybe 3-4 in total out of 1000ish a week for 10 years so a very small amount. Also what is the cause of really bloody eggs? Not when there is a spot of red but completely red? Thanks

We live in the city where the law allows for up to 6 hens, no roosters but I would love to have my grandchildren witness the Whole process of raising chickens. So I'd like to get a "rent-r-rooster" for a while to get fertile bunch of eggs for a brooding hen to set on. Any idea how long to have the rooster to with the hens. I'm thinking a week to ten days should do it. Any help here before the neighbors complain?

R. Tuman...Seriously, there is the internet or the nature channel. What will you do after they are laid....raise them to eat??? The better lesson here would be, compassion!
