details of question -> fertilization of eggs of birds and reptiles...role of males and females....frequency of eggs and sperm production after puberty and after menopause (if these are the terms for them)...sexual anatomy of reptiles and birds....potability of unfertilized and fertilized eggs

Eggs sold in the supermarket are unfertilized. Roosters are necessary to fertilize eggs in order to get baby chickens. I'm not sure if these eggs can be fertilized at a later time. Help me out someone.

same answer as the other dude.

and to answer him; i'm pretty sure that once the eggs are refrigerated they cannot hatch (even if they are fertilized already). I do not believe you can fertilize an egg after it has already been laid by the hen.

roosters must fertilize eggs before they can be hatched by the hen
