🐓 Ever wondered how chickens actually reproduce? Here’s a quick and simple breakdown! Unlike mammals, roosters and hens don’t mate the way you might think. Both have a special opening called a cloaca. 👉 During mating, the rooster briefly mounts the hen and their cloacas touch in what’s called the “cloacal kiss.” 👉 This quick contact transfers sperm, which the hen can store for days. 👉 That means one mating can fertilize several eggs over time! Fun fact: 🥚 Hens lay eggs even without a rooste
