There is no Role of Roosters in the Egg Formation

Yes!!! The title of this article is 100 per cent correct and also you read it correctly. Most of us don’t know the fact that the rooster is not required to produce egg within the hen. Many animals including human beings need no male partners to produce eggs. Egg production is a physiological phenomenon of a female of a mammal. The partner is only needed to fertilize the eggs. In other words, the table purpose eggs don’t require cocks in a chicken coop.

If you’re going to use the eggs for table purpose only, you don’t need males in your coop. On other hand, if you do require eggs for hatching, then you should have at least one male for 10-20 females in your chicken coop.

My advice for the first timers of raising chicken is that they don’t require roosters for their backyard farm because the roosters not only going to produce fertilized egg, but also waking up to the lovely sound of a rooster crowing in the morning. Moreover, the roosters crow throughout the day, which will bother you and your neighbours.

Before building the nesting boxes for chicken coops, you should provide perches for them to use. The perches should be 19 to 25 inches above the ground. Even you can use more than one perch, which resembles a ladder or a stair to give room for more space for the chickens to move.

A perfect dimension for a chicken coop nesting box is 12 inches tall, 12 inches deep, and 12 inches wide, which will be able to house 3-5 hens at a point of time.

You should provide various nesting materials ranging from straw, shredded paper or wood shavings inside the nest box to harvest clean and untidy eggs. The nesting box should be kept in a secluded place within a coop with an idea of giving some shade and dark space for the hens to feel comfortable and safe.
