eggs

Santone and I have a long running conversation that we have some questions about...

We haven't done any research on this topic, because we want to find someone who emphatically knows the answer. If that's you...please let us know. If it's not...don't go research it and ruin it for the rest of us. We want someone who knows the answer off the top of their head.
"How do hens lay eggs?
Do they go "hook up" with a rooster and then lay eggs?
Do they have to do that every time?"

Some people say that they have to get busy every time. Others say that the hen lays the eggs regardless...and then the rooster goes and does something to them. Still others say that they keep hens and roosters separate...so how can they lay eggs?

Now's your chance to educate us.

this is straight out of the farmers mouth:
a hen will lay eggs without a rooster being around.

if you want little easter chicks running around then the rooster impregnates the hen then she will lay fertalized eggs.

so in theory they do hook up then comes the egg.

to answer the life long question which comes first the chicken or the egg??? I think a date comes first

weird.

this is something my husband and his friends would talk about.

and though i don't know the answer we can tell you more than you ever wanted to know about the mating habits of bed bugs. if you don't know already, don't look it up.

the real reason i stopped by was to say thanks for adding the link to my blog...

hope gina and the kids are well, we'd love to visit sometime!!
