Silly Question Regarding Chickens

[chickenzngoatz]

I've been looking for an exact answer,but I can't seem to find quite what I'm looking for. Do hens/pullets lay eggs even without the rooster? Am I correct in assuming the only purpose for the rooster is to breed the hens?

 

[fiveladybugs]

Yes, you are correct! They will lay without a rooster.

Thank you so much! I thought that was the case, but I've never seen it said plain. Anyway, that makes it a lot easier than I thought.

Yes!
