Releasing of an egg is ovulation. Menstruation is shedding of the lining of the uterus in mammals when pregnancy has not occurred.
It’s a little pet peeve of mine when people refer to eggs as “chicken periods.” I get a similar itch when people refer to anything in the crotch area of a female as a vagina lol.
You’re right! My dad has chickens. You definitely don’t need a rooster involved. Laying eggs is not an analogue to giving birth - it’s more like they’re having their period.
Ehhhh no? You don’t need a rooster for chickens to lay eggs, AFAIK.
You need a rooster to fertilize the egg. An egg without a rooster is just chicken menstruation.

Mad props. I was sure I had the words technically incorrect even if the point was right…thanks for the clarification!
You do for these eggs.
No you don’t.
