turkins.(bald necks) they lay very well. they're also very good mothers! itll be easier to get at least one rooster and the rest hens and keep the rooster and one of his fav. hens. if his fav. hen will most likely sit on some eggs of hers and then the eggs will hatch and then u wont have to order anymore chickens! \nsome turkins dont get to much meat on them.

The chicken eggs we eat are unfertilised and not foetuses.  (Although I have heard urban myths where someone has cracked an egg and found a baby chick inside).  In natural circumstances (esp. in the wild), unfertilised eggs are rarely laid.  A rooster will fertilise a hen's egg through mating and the egg is laid and incubated until it hatches into a chick.  Farm hens produce an enormous number of eggs unfertilised for human consumption, as a result of human farming technology.

Buy three live chickens, spray paint them and number them one, two, and four. Let them loose. ;)

Rooster is a male.  Hen is a female.  Chicken is lunch.

Chickens go through a rigorous training program to "train them" to lay eggs that fit the standard size egg-cups.\n\nChickens that fail to learn how to do this are generally slaughtered for chicken meat.

Eggs.  Fish lay 'em, and fish evolved before chickens.

Yes most chickens lay eggs everyday as long as you continue to keep them healthy and take the eggs away daily, if you leave the eggs they will sit on them and stop laying more eggs. They do not need to have sex to lay eggs, but they need to have sex to lay fertilised eggs that will turn into chicks. If a hen(must be a breed that goes "broody" laying hens dont usually sit thier eggs) mates with a rooster, lays fertilised eggs which are then left in the nest and incubated... then yes they will hatch into chicks.

The chicken comes first because you can't have an egg without a chicken to lay it.

Basically it is born from an egg and eat chicken feed which is grain. It will basically just stand around and eat until it is time for it to be eaten by people since chicken tastes very good. If it courts and mates it is because there are two sexes, a male is called a rooster, and a female is called a hen. Often one rooster will impregnate all the hens. I don't think chickens live very long before they are used as food, but I could be wrong. I'd say between 2 and 10 years at the most, or even a narrower window.

generally speaking in agriculture, there are two types of chickens: broilers and layers. A broiler is a chicken used for meat production.  A layer is used for egg production.

The chicken evolved from another egg-laying bird. The first birds evolved from egg-laying reptiles, which evolved from egg-laying amphibians, which evolved from egg-laying fish. Going back to the beginning, minute variation in the "ovulation" cycle of whatever creature first laid an egg of any type.

it depends on if you have a chicken or not..if you do have a chicken already then the egg comes first if you dont have a chicken..then the chicken must come first.
