How Do Chickens Reproduce

- A girl chicken is called a hen.
A boy chicken is called a rooster.
A hen lays an egg every day, but unless there is a rooster the egg will not be fertile and will never hatch into a baby.
The rooster jumps on the hen and breeds her and the egg gets fertilized inside the hen before she lays it. Chickens are not like fish or frogs where the egg is fertilized outside, with chickens the egg is fertilized inside the hen.
It’s important to keep an eye on the rooster and make sure he’s not too aggressive and hurting the hens. A polite rooster will do a little mating dance to trigger the breeding.
If there is a rooster with the hen the eggs she lays will be fertile, and if she sits on the fertile eggs for 21 days they will hatch into baby chickens. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Me trying to sleep at 1am
My brain: *Do you want to know how chickens reproduce*
Me last night but I forgot to google it so I finally googled it today and I’m not disappointed 😂😂😂
It’s 1am here omg wtf
literally same it's even 01:40 a.m. rn
Bruh it's 3:51 here
@@Edmaste bruh it’s 6 am now
At 57 someone finally give me ‘the talk.’
Learned something new today. Thank you
I'll have to have a talk with my rooster...so he can teach me the chicken dance
Tryna mate with your hen?? Goodluck mate
Dennis Cuesta oh that was 4 years ago we are a tribe now
@@zmxa1 lol
Bruh🤣🤣🤣🤣
Put on a bra
This works for humans too. Instead of just the dance, the male tells the woman how much money he has and how he would be a great asset to her potential children genetically.
Nick Martin yeah and if you have a mean one, get rid of that rooster because he’s not worth keeping
Nick Martin 😹😹😹😹😹
The man lied and just wanted that puss
you are right so subscribe me ////
@@magnusemeritus arhahaha!!!!
My rooster does the dance whenever I try to feed him by hand
He wants to nail you bro lol
Mine does that too in the morning when i let him out of the coop
@@TheCraigy83 😂lmao
Deadass I have a Caballo de guerra and I have it in a cage and when I go to feed it it dances and I’m like wtf whatchu tryna do
@@TheCraigy83 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So basically just make sure the rooster isn't a rapist
So the rooster dance is basically them asking for consent. Love that!
Oh god i just learned about chicken rape
LMAO!!!
Your clapped
Loooooool
Andrei Tuico that’s what I call it when my chickens do it
Thank you, Becky! This question was on my mind for the longest time!!
Either its getting very cold out, or by1:30 the rooster mating dance is getting more than the hens going! FANTASTIC!!!!
I do know Becky was getting very excited tell us about this.
amen- you can scroll through and see
I remember I was out in the yard with my little cousin. My rooster did a little dance and mounted one of my hens. My cousin thought they were hugging and I had to lead her away lol
Watched with my 9 year old GRAND SON. He was mesmerized. Thank you for the professional well done vid...super kid friendly. They say teachers are the greatest.....thanks teach
They are
Not to be rude but how old are you...?
@@irises9553 rude? Not at all. Clearly I am a grandfather. I am in my 50s. Why the question? Do you have a comment on chickens or teachers?
@@JohnnyPunish oh no just the question you know well sorry for being rude... and yes I have some chicken that my dad is raising
Thank you Becky! We LOVE all of your video's!
Thank you, Becky, for such an informative video; now I understand the birds and the bees of chickens. I'm interested in raising chickens, your videos are very helpful in helping me obtain vital information on the subject.
Thanks again and be well.
2:30 anybody else visibly see that Becky gets a little... Excited talking about a rooster dance???
first time when my rooster tried to mate the hen attacked him and he ran and jumped on my shoulder
LEGEND GAMING 360 if a horny chicken jumped in my shoulder I’d freak out
Maybe a lesbian chicken?
Moid Alam chickens are all straight and none our lesbian, gay, bisexual or any of those
Awwww poor baybeeeee
@@cooperk7671 the fact that Moid Alam has more likes than you….
I do the same dance at Rick's bar and grill. Works every time! Thanks again
I was trying to sleep but I kept waking up because I didn’t know where roosters came from. I’m so stupid for a few minutes I thought hens only gave birth to females. Why am I so stupid, lmao.
At the beginning I almost thought this was the *talk*
I searched for this video, cause I was thinking about how weird it is that hens lay eggs every day even though there's no rooster around them. So, thanks for the information.
Man, that's great advice. I'm going to share this advice.
Thanks Becky so much this video was so help full.
I really did learn many things in this video. I was never taught anything like this in school. Thanks, really fascinating.
Loved it very informative.. I have a broody hen and she seems to want to be a mommy.. she even takes the other hens eggs and sits on them. We're thinking of letting them have a brood. I have a friend with a nice rooster we can borrow.. does their breed matter.. I have 3 different breeds of hens. Also how long should I borrow the rooster for? Sorry new to having backyard chickens. Value your advice greatly.
Hi Becky! Question: does the rooster need to jump on the hen eight times in order for the hen to lay eight eggs? Or, does the rooster jump on the hen once and then she pops out eight eggs one per day?
Thanks Becky
I am new to this chicken raising thing and have a lot to learn
I appreciate your videos
What a great video! Hilarious! Thanks for all the info - and for the 21 days that she sits on eggs, how much of the day does she get up to walk around each day vs staying seated? And does she lay any eggs during those 21 days??
Great questions!
Thank you!
You helped me with my project a ton
I love how she got excited when she talked about it! wow wow
This was very helpful thank you!
Haha, you better do the dance for a little chicken romance.
So he literally does "the chicken dance" that's funny!
Tanya F
No, it’s not,
Damn chicken is more polite than ppl
Good info. Especially about roosters! Thanks.
My family and I really enjoy you and your tips. You are funny :-)
You have a superb sense of humor
"...get rid of the mean rooster". I was expecting a psychology recommendation.
Well okay then
Why am I watching this it's 6 am
7 am for me. Hehehehe
hahah what a nice lady and the way she explained is so clear . thanks
Me for no reason
"Do hens needs to mate with a roster so they can lay eggs that we eat?"
"How do I know if I have a good rooster?" 🤨🤔 I have asked myself that question SO many times throughout my lifetime. I've pondered it deep into the night. I mean, what person hasn't reflected on it at some point? As a city-slicker I've wondered about chicken reproduction. You are just about my speed. Lots of information but no graphic chicken sex. This topic also led me to your channel to which I have just subscribed. You may be pleased to know you have just been added to my TH-cam Playlist of "Unique/Interesting Hosts". Congratulations! 👏 🏆 I'm looking forward to viewing more videos from you. LL
*The rooster does its little rooster dance*
Your a life saver thanks for the information I needed it
As an adult I can’t believe I had to look this up
Tq for the chicken and fish difference in fertilization.
I didn't know that a hen can still lay eggs without a rooster, only that it's not fertilized and d egg won't hatch into babies. Tq.
you just earned a new subscriber! :)
You are many ways better than my shy biology teacher. Thanks
this seems very remedial to me, but i am continually amazed at how many adults dont understand the basics of animal reproduction. so many have asked me how i can have eggs without a rooster. its embarrassing...
+Renaissance MarineTV I agree with you.......... Most of the time when people come over to feed the chickens or buy eggs I get the same question. They want to know how the hen can lay eggs without a rooster mounting them. We do have roosters, but keep them separate until we are ready for either broody hens or to fill up the incubator. The explanation I use is to relate it to the human biological experience. Once I do this, you can see the epiphany and they say "oh yea." I tell them female chickens (hens) have a predetermined number of eggs when they are born, just like female humans.......... a woman releases an egg (through menstruation) but that happens whether or not she's been with a man. I tell them that a chicken lays her eggs daily rather than once a month. Rob
+Renaissance MarineTV Lol! Next time someone asks that, just return the question with, "How does a woman get a period every month even though she isn't pregnant?" It's technically the same thing!
I mean, I agree with you anyone that doesn't understand an egg will not produce a chick without fertilization is amazingly ignorant... But at the same time I don't see anything wrong with an individual not knowing the specifics of how said eggs are fertilized.
Renaissance MarineTV But How Can You Have Eggs Without A Rooster ??
Maybe their hens are sluts
Roster: It doesn't matter what you think...good or bad I'm still the boss
I love your chickens. They are beautiful.
Me trying to look at the hen and chicken sees sus dance
I had no idea an egg could sit around without a chicken laying on them. I did know about synchronized hatching, but it sounds more like the hen not laying on them until she has a clutch and then the incubation process is started for the clutch. Sure they'll hatch at the same time.
hi there becky i was wondering if i could breed my Shamo chicken with any other types of hens and like if it did how would the chicks come out etc. THANK YOU!
I've done the chicken dance. No female's squatted. Ever. I've always wondered how chickens made chickens. Great video. Well worded.
Gave me the perfect answer in the 1st minute thank you
keep doing you Becky!!!
rooster that don't dance means an excited one hahaha
Years of farmville gameplay has lead to this
Very informative!!
Hello Becky, just one question.
Was it cold?
In homesteading as in life, if he don't want to dance with you, get rid of him. Nice roosters dance.
Thank you for this I’m going to share information to my neighbors about this I just gave them my chickens for winter because they have a heater repair do you know that other stuff like the brown chickens I name them caramel and that’s really helped
really you have a very beautiful farm, wish i could visit your farm some day
so do chickens mate everyday then to fertilize the pile of eggs?
Becky,Is one mating good for just the next egg or several eggs?
48 years old and just figured this process out.geeze, 👍 thanks
This was so awesome thank you! I had no idea how that worked. So I suppose, if you have both hens and roosters, and you don't want baby chicks, you have to keep them seperated....
+Ramon Garcia no you can have them together. If you don't let her set the eggs then it won't matter.
Ramon Garcia Thank you for the advice, sorry I didnt see your comment until now. Do you have chickens?
Hi Becky, do you have any advice on medium size or small size rooster, as i intend to purchase 1 for my Bluebell and sussex star, i dont want a huge rooster as my coop states it can only cater for 7 medium hens
i looked up how to chickens reproduce? bc my bf said looked it up, i did. and i learned a lot from this video imma tell my bf to do the chicken dance
My goodness. I never knew how chickens are made. Some of my friends said it is external fertilization and it is the rooster hatching the eggs in order to get it fertilize. LOL.
I just learned something new today Thank you
I leaned something today. How did I ever live! Seriously. Thank you. Haha
wish you would make more videos pre week. Also I don't get my monthly news letter, don't know why.
Learned what I was looking for within 50sec
How interesting! Thanks!
how do you tell if they have bred and what eggs you should leave for the hen to hatch?
Becky tell me some ways if I leave my chicken or chick in home for 3 to 4 days they will servive
i wouldnt mind giving you some little baby chickens
If you allow a hen to hatch eggs, will the chicks be killed by other chickens or do you have to separate them from the coop while they grow and reintroduce them to the coop like you would with chicks you bought and raised?
What about if the hen lays an egg after mating several times and rooster dies after the first egg will the rest of the eggs are fertilized too?
I would’ve liked the video if you actually showed how the roosters do the rooster dance and how chickens mate!
Becky is a little chilly this morning....
I love you Becky sunshine! You teach me so much! 🌼🌼🌼🌼😀😀🐓🐓🐓💕💕
This was the best video about chicken breeding on TH-cam❤
Thank you so much, I’m happy it helped☀️❤️☀️
How much should I worry about inbreeding? I’m having a hard time finding any articles about this. We got 18 chicks from the tractor supply store a couple of weeks ago, and we would like to keep some of the roosters. I have no idea if they are related, but I also don’t see anybody else worrying about this. We got them primarily for eggs, but I’d be open for more chicks
My rooster does the rooster dance but the hen refuses to mate so sometimes he poofs up his neck feathers and attacks the hen to mate what should i do
How many roosters should you have at one time, and should you get the eggs before they pile up and she sits on them, or does it matter?
love this channel
does the rooster mount the hen once to produce several fertilized eggs or does the rooster have to continue to mount the hen, also does this continue after the 21 days or does the hen get a break from breeding to raise the biddies?
i knew this but my friend and my whole family thinks that hens just lay eggs and that they magically turn into chickens if a rooster is there because the hen needs to feel safe, but bruh they need to mate first, it's not magic
None of my roosters dance.
You make my rooster dance!
a hen will lay one egg every day. how often does the rooster need to breed her?
Just picturing Gob from Arrested Developmemt do the chicken dance
Must be cold there!! Lmaoooo
Donald Smith lmfaooo
Chicken dance Lol but so very true. I had 2 roosters one was Jojo the other Big Red and I would sit in the pen sipping a nice bourbon whiskey after a long day at work. And I would watch my roosters do exactly what you are talking about the chicken dance. Jojo would dance and Big Red was brutal. Crazy me I thought that Jojo was just better with the hens. My barnyard Player. And Red would attack the hens and most time's they would fight him. Now you have made it all make sense.
Thank you for your knowledge and expertise as always be blessed
good looks becky i was wondering
Thank you ❤ very informative 😊
I’m glad it helps☀️❤️☀️
The good rooster is the one that gives a "Lap Dance"....role reversal. So when does the eggs go back to being eatable eggs ? I guess that's when you check them with a flash light.
Are hens run after the little chicken dance
