The male chicken or rooster chooses a hen from the flock and does a mating dance or display for her. This lets her know she has been chosen to mate with the male. He will do little sidesteps and circles around her, then dip his wings. He sometimes drags his wings on the ground. At a certain point in this dance he grabs her by the feathers at the back of her neck. The hen will flatten out or squat down to the ground and the rooster steps up onto her back while still holding onto the feathers of her neck for balance. The hen lifts her tail slightly to offer access to her cloaca and the rooster touches his cloaca to hers. There is no penetration of sexual organs as happens with mammals since a birds anatomy is different. A Sperm packet is transferred to the hen via this contact. This is all over in 15 to 30 seconds and the rooster goes on to find another hen to mate with.

∙ 12y agoYou cannot tell if an egg is fertilized by the outward appearance.
To find out if an egg is fertilized, you must actually crack open an egg and look for semen. If you need help with this, i would recommend searching backyardchickens.com/forum.
Egg color has nothing to do with fertilization. Egg color is determined by genes in the chicken and is not affected by fertilization.

∙ 15y agoA hen will lay an egg every 24 to 36 hours with or without a rooster present.
When a rooster is available he will mate with a hen and a sperm packet will be deposited into the hen. This is stored in the ovaries of the hen and released over the next week to ten days into each egg produced. The rooster need not mate with the hen daily.
