You do not need a rooster for a hen to lay eggs. A well feed, happy hen of appropriate age will lay about one egg a day. If a rooster is around the eggs will be fertilized and you get more chickens, if not you get yummy eggs to eat.

Why can hens lay eggs without a rooster?

Because a hens egg is like the egg your ovaries release...the hen laying the egg is like the ovary releasing the egg into your uterus. The only way the egg can mature is if it is fertilized by a rooster, as the only way you can get pregnant is if it is fertilized by male sperm. Make sense?

Does a chicken need a rooster to fertilize each and every egg or does the chicken only need the rooster to fertilize her so she can lay a clutch of eggs so it'll produce baby chicks?

The rooster does not need to fertilize the hen everyday. The rooster deposits a sperm cluster or sperm sac when mating.The sperm live inside the female reproductive system and each time an ovulation occurs (every 24-26 hours in good egg producers) the egg can become fertile. This process continues and matings at 7 - 10 day intervals are necessary to maintain fertility. The rooster does not need to fertilize the hen everyday.
