    So they can theoretically be held together? Like, 3 roosters 15 chicken in one group?

    Also, and I am sorry if this sounds dumb, but is there any kind of birth control for chicken? Or do you just eat fresh eggs with 1 day old embryos inside all the time? Can you castrate a rooster?

    (Wait isn’t there even a dish with a castrated rooster? I think it was in a play by Bertold Brecht)

      Yes

      No, hens don’t immediately start hatching their eggs when they lay them, they try to collect about 8 before they do so. There are no embryos inside the fertilized eggs when you eat them

      Can you castrate a rooster?

      No, because their scrotum is not outside of their body
