My Grandma is convinced that chickens need to have a rooster "LOVE' them in order to lay egss. I said they lay eggs without a rooster. does having a rooster affect a chickens egg production at all?

 

[The Chicken Lady]

No. Hens will lay eggs without a rooster present at all. All the eggs that are in the grocery store are usually from hens that have never even SEEN a male of their species (other than when they were born as chicks).

Put it in terms your grandma will understand.
Does a woman need a man around to ovulate? Same difference.
