Can male chickens lay eggs?

I think it might be a hen. HAHA thanks for all the great responses! This is a great website and I got a lot of AMAZING feedback!!! Love you! I don't have any pictures, haha my rooster pecked at my camera and cracked it (like an egg)!

Maybe you were told it was a “mail” chicken?

meaning it was delivered in the mail as day old chick?... or it came from the old rare breed of chickens that used to deliver postcards during the war?

There is a current thread about this very subject —-that their isolated rooster appears to have laid an egg, and they do have photos:

You all may debate this as impossible, but I would say never say never!

But.......if by chance you do have a rooster that lays eggs I can see you making some good money with that!! People will definitely pay good money to see it. Heck, I would pay good money to see it.to rooster who lays the magic egg.

In old legends a rooster who lays an egg is burned at the stake along with the egg because it's considered "witchcraft." Supposedly, a massive, violent, fire breathing, half dragon, half chicken beast will hatch out of the egg and destroy the village. Lol!

Lol! I've never watched Harry Potter. Is it as good as The Hobbit (which I waited until a week ago to watch for some dumb reason)?

There is such a thing as gyandromorphs, half and half birds, which are both sexes.

I do believe that that’s possible but both sides of that bird have visual male characteristics.

I just read the books when I was younger actually. I think the films are OK though. Never watched the Hobbit, just LOTR. But this is kind of off subject!

Why does everyone jump to these things?
its probably a hen, or a hen escaped, or maybe OP is being tricked. This may exist but its SUPER rare, and I think OP would have mentioned it if their 'rooster' looked like THAT.
Not being rude of course, it's a very interesting fact, just not a very likely one.

Ha! Of course I agree, but, anyway, I don’t ever say impossible. Every time I think I’m sure about something (chicken and otherwise) I am amazed to learn something new.
