Where is that actual point of exchange between the rooster and the hen?
Fertilzation of the Hen
- Thread starter freeheart227
- Start date
Hmm. Gonna answer in a "Family sorta way"
1-They do the rooster dance
2-The rooster rubs hi vent on the hen's vent and leaves
his rooster mojo on the hen's vent
3-When the hen lays the egg the mojo rubs on the egg and is
absorbed.
A fertilized hen can lay fertilized eggs for up to two weeks after
doing the rooster dance.
If you want technical details I would suggest a Google search.
I know Drumstick is gonna read this.

Google will help you out.
But for simplicity's sake. The hen has one working ovary, their left ovary. As eggs mature, the sperm from the male will fertilize the yolk. The yolk will then go down though the reproductive track of the hen where it gains the layers of albumin, membrane, and shell.
Like humans, the egg gets fertilized between ovulation and the coating of the yolk. The rooster can do his deposit at any time and the hen has an organ which holds the sperm for up to about three weeks.
As for rubbing of vents and absorbed mojo... not quite.

My rooster had mojo, just ask his girls...

PC: Don't get me wrong, your post was hilarious! Great presentation.
i have a rooster with mojo aplenty, which is what makes my girls run screaming.
Somewhere in the background i hear a Jim Morrison song playing.

Are you kidding me? Maybe you need to watch some National Geographic or read a book on the facts of bird life.
