How do chicken have sex?

In fact although most birds do not have a male copulatory organ, the roosters have a "phallus" which is exactly that, a small copulatory organ. The rooster mounts the hen and there is a brief contact of their cloacas during which the sperm is transferred to the female oviducts.\n \nOther birds that do have copulatory organ (penis) include the ratites (flightless birds such as ostrich, rhea, emus, etc), and the Anseriformes (geese, ducks and their relatives). \n\nOh, and snakes have in fact two penises called hemipenes.

The answer is either “No” with a but or “Yes” with an and.\n\nRobins and chickens are totally separate species of birds. They are no more closely related than humans are to baboons. You wouldn’t expect a human and a baboon to be able to mate and produce babies would you? So no, robins and chickens can’t interbreed.\n\nHowever there are many different species of animal that CAN interbreed and produce offspring. But the different species need to be fairly closely related, far more closely than human and baboon… or a chicken and a robin.\n\nFor example we can interbreed horses and donkeys to produce baby mules, and we can breed cattle and buffalo, or camels and llamas. \n\nAnd the same is true of birds. While chickens can’t be bred with robins they are often bred with guinea fowl and pheasants for example, and occasionally bred with turkeys (see links below). \n\n\nSo to answer the question, yes different types of bird can mate and produce chicks, there's no doubt about that. But chickens and robins are not two types that are capable of it. Chickens and turkeys or chickens and pheasants are.\n\n\n>>>>>A robin and a chicken might be a stretch, but how about\n>>>>>two different types of sparrows? \n\nYes, in fact the various sparrow species are amongst the most likely to hybridise.\n\n>>>>>>Does it ever happen in the wild?\n\nRegularly. See the last two links.\n\n__________________________\n\nAddenda\n\nScientist said: "Only organisms of the same species can produce viable offspring"\n\nThat is simply not true. \n\nI know they teach you that in school, but it has no factual basis whatsoever and is not accepted by any biologist anywhere on the planet.\n\nJust to name a few examples cattle and bison, wolves and coyotes and fin and blue whales are all perfectly capable of breeding. They all interbreed commonly in the wild and the offspring are all perfectly fertile and have young themselves. \n\nEven lions and tigers will produce offspring that are capable of producing cubs, though most are not, and there have been at least 2 documented cases of mules having foals.\n\n\nUnless someone wants to argue that cattle and buffalo are the same species then ability to produce fertile offspring doesn't prevent two animals being seperate species in any way.\n\n\nSal said: "There are different kinds of chickens that can interbreed with each other. But a chicken can't breed with a turkey."\n\nA total lie with no basis in reality. I just provided links which prove that turkeys can breed with chickens.\n\nSal also said"This is one of thousands of examples as to why the theory of evolution is hard to swallow. If animals can change into other kinds of animals, you would be able to see at least a slight form of interbreeding betweeen different species, but you dont."\n\nWell since I have proved this belief completely wrong, and Sal now knosw that interspecies breding is common, even in the wild, I guess Sal will now accept evolution?\n\nYeah, right. Like facts and evidence played any part his belief.

Final and scientifically agreed answer, thanks to some scientists with too much time on their hands\n\nExtract from the Guardian:\n\n"Whether the panel solved that debate is not clear, but they were unanimous on the correct chicken/egg pecking order. John Brookfield, an evolutionary geneticist at the University of Nottingham said the solution involves piecing together the speciation event in which chickens first evolved.\n\nHe imagines two non-chicken parents getting together and giving rise to the first individual of a new species because of a genetic mutation. "The first chicken must have differed from its parents by some genetic change, perhaps a very subtle one, but one which caused this bird to be the first ever to fulfil our criteria for truly being a chicken," said Prof Brookfield.\n\n"Thus the living organism inside the eggshell would have had the same DNA as the chicken that it would develop into, and thus would itself be a member of the species of chicken," he added."

God made animals so the chicken.

people who tell the sex of chickens ...can you imagine the resume those people have?

Chickens pre-date roads.\nThus we can assume that there were no roads to cross for the first chicken (which evolved from a slightly different species) hen it laid the first 'chicken' egg\n\non a side note why are there so many chicken road crossing jokes when I never see a chicken on the road...lol Oh I get it =)

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.

They're the only animals on earth (other than humans) that have sex for pleasure. How much more intelligent could you get? :D

you take the chicken across\nthen the seeds but take the chicken back\nthen you bring the fox\nand then the chicken

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.

Depends, kinky is using a feather, perverted is using the whole chicken.

I think the chicken evolved from something else (or God created the chicken), and the chicken was made to then reproduce. And then from the reproduction came the egg. Because you see, a egg can come from a chicken, but an egg cannot be created without a chicken. A chicken can evolve from other animals, but it cannot come from an egg originally.

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

richard is right.\n\nTo boys4ever: How can you have a creature without an egg to hatch it?  Unless, of course, you are suggesting that some chicken like creature gave live birth to the first chicken!

Chickens can lay white and brown eggs.

No, they dont. Birds have a different "set up" as far as sex goes. Both sexes look the same, just a single opening. This is used for both elimination and sex. The male mounts the back of the female. He twists his back end around and both openings, called the cloacals, touch. He releases the sperm into her and thats how fertilization takes place.

usually with their own hand...when two have sex...well thats a different story
