The process of internally fertilizing a chicken hen.
- Rooster spies hen, grabs neck feathers and forces hen's head down.
- Rooster mounts hen's back.
- Rooster tilts hen forward so her tail comes up
- Rooster places his tail under the hen's so the cloaca meet.
- "Cloacal kiss" occurs
- During the kiss the papilla on the back of rooster's cloaca squirts his sperm into the hen's vagina.
- Sperm travel up vagina into uterus and oviduct.
- Internal fertilization (sperm meets egg) takes place.
The fertilization takes place before the shell is formed as it moves down the oviduct of the hen.
An egg gets fertilized inside the hen. The process where the shell is formed over the yolk and albumen comes after.

What does a fertilized egg mature into inside the ovary?
It doesn't. It is fertilised outside of the ovary.
What does a fertilized egg mature into inside of the ovary?
A fertilized egg matures into a blastocyst inside the ovary before implanting into the uterus to develop further into an embryo.
Does a hummingbird egg grow inside or outside their mother?
In a way, you could say "both inside and outside". The egg is produced and fertilized inside the mother. She lays the egg and incubates it so the embryo grows outside the mother and develops into the hatchling hummingbird.
Are the chickens you eat also egg layers?
Yes, they are. The ones that produce baby chickens have been fertilized, and the ones that we eat are not fertilized. Ask your grocer about the availability of duck eggs.
Where is the egg in a female developed fertilized and where does the fertilized egg develop?
An egg gets fertilized in the fallopian tube by a sperm, then it goes inside of the uterus, and inside the uterus it develops.
What becomes a fertilized egg?
When a bird's egg is fertilized, a chick is developing inside.
What is the difference between internal and external fertilisation in animals?
Internal fertilization is like animals having sex....the egg is fertilized on the inside. External is when the egg is fertilized on the outside (like when frogs lay eggs and they need to be fertilized before they can hatch).
What is a dud egg from a chicken?
Many people raise chickens for their eggs. When the chicken lays the eggs and egg that is not fertilized is referred to as a dud egg. These are the eggs we get in the market. If the egg is fertilized, you will get a chick.
Does a chicken lay an egg that is not fertilized?
Chickens will lay one egg every 26 hours, roughly once per day. Most chickens never even see a rooster. All of the eggs you find in stores have not been fertilized and will never grow into a chicken. So yes, chickens can lay eggs that are not fertilized.
Is it bad for a hen to try and hatch an egg that is not fertilized?
no that is how people eat eggs. we eat eggs that chickens/hens hatch that aren't fertilized.
What is the size of egg to get it fertilized?
There is no size requirements, the egg is fertilized inside the hen before the shell surrounds it on its way through the oviduct.
When will an egg die if not fertilized?
Technically, an unfertilized egg is not alive. Since this question is in regard to chickens...the egg itself will develop normally and will be laid by the hen. The unfertilized egg will begin to rot during incubation whereas a fertilized egg will start to develop into a chick.
