Do roosters get erections

Answer 1

Chickens and Roosters just touch to mate that they do not have the "normal" reproductive external organs. So, no, Roosters don't have a penis.

The male chicken (rooster) does not have a penis like other animals and therefore there is no penetration of the female reproductive tract when mating. Instead the female inverts her cloaca (the common junction of the reproductive and digestive systems) which comes in contact with the male's inverted cloaca and receives the sperm. The cloaca is then drawn back into the hen's body and the sperm are captured. They then begin the journey up the length of the reproductive system.

Answer 2

No.

Roosters have a sheathed organ called the cloaca it releases sperm into the oviduct of the hen. The cloaca is not visible when the rooster is walking around.

Answer 3

Actually some Roosters do lay an egg. It is 1 egg at the time they become mature and then never lay again. This I know because I not only have raised chickens and been around them my whole life but the Asian Rooster is known for it's ability to lay its one egg. The eggs will be very small. The can be as big a a pigeon egg but will never be the size of even a small chicken egg.

No, roosters are male. Chickens or hens lay eggs.

Another more specific Answer

Once in a while you may hear stories about how a hen changed into a rooster. These stories are often dismissed as crackpot tales, but in fact, sex reversals do occur. You must understand however this happens very, very infrequently. Spontaneous sex reversal from male to female has never been credibly reported.

With spontaneous sex reversal from hen to rooster, only the phenotype is altered. Genetically, the bird remains a female, but externally it will appear to be male. This makes it possible that prior to becoming a "rooster" the hen may have laid an egg(s). The egg(s) very likely will be malformed because it is disease that causes the sex change

All case studies of spontaneous sex reversal show it to have been the result of disease. Ovarian cyst, tumour or diseased adrenal glands which have resulted in damage to the left ovary. Typically, pullets only have one functional ovary, the left. The right ovary and oviduct are present in the embryonic stages of all birds including males, but usually never develop in chickens. Residual tissue in the right ovary grows in the absence of a functional left ovary. This regenerated right gonad is known as an ovotestis and may contain tissue characteristic of the ovary, the testes, or both. Most, of these affected birds will never lay an egg prior to the change or sire offspring afterward. The "ovotestes" are steroidogenically functional and secrete androgens, as well as estrogens. The birds actually develop secondary male characteristics. So while the bird is genotypcially female, it will be phenotypically male.

No, roosters are male. Male birds do not lay eggs.

In fact, no males lay eggs or give birth (except, arguably, for seahorses) to young.

Male birds do not have the capacity to be fertilized, since their main job is to fertilize females who lay the eggs.

No, roosters are male, and do not lay eggs. Note: There are comments associated with this question. See the discussion page to add to the conversation

Answer 4

Yes, in a way that is different than humans do. The rooster deposits his sperm inside the chickens vent. As above, yes, most chickens eggs are not fertilized, the rooster is needed to do this.

Answer 5

A rooster does not have a penis, it has a cloaca, which is a single opening for reproduction and waste excretion. The rooster has to mount the hen and line up its cloaca with the hen's cloaca to pass its sperm into the hen.

Answer 6

A rooster has 2 testicles, which are inside his body, but he doesn't have a penis, so, NO, he cannot get an erection. There is a small bump on the back wall of the cloaca. The sperm exit through this papilla. When the rooster mounts the hen, the cloaca meet in the "cloacal kiss" and the sperm is deposited inside the hen. It all happens very quickly without much ceremony.

Answer 7

Some farms in Europe still do this however most roosters used for meat are slaughtered well before they mature and will not develop the muscle of a full grown rooster. The only reason to castrate a rooster is to keep it inactive and put on weight.

Answer 8

A rooster is a male chicken.

Answer 9

yes, they use them to keep warm in the winter.

Answer 10

yes they have wings but the thing is they can,t fly
