Your not dumb. My sister asked me the same question. But at the time, I didnt have a rooster, so she asked "how do they get pregnant then?"
Good way to learn about chickens, what they can and cant do ,the myths and facts, and basic chicken care. Chickens are pretty adaptable. They have survived for thousands of years and still manage to survive with or without human intervention.
A hen can lay fertilized eggs for up to two weeks after being covered by a rooster. They can lay double yolk eggs, which is so cool when you crack one open and find one.
Chickens dont "nurse" thier chicks like dogs, cats, or other mammals, but chicks raised by hens are smarter and learn how to find food because thier mother teaches them.
Dont be afraid to ask a question or post something for advice. Its how we all learn.
And to others who read this post, if I am not quite right with some of the info I posted, please let me know.
