Yeah, that bit of information was a real surprise to me, having been a
city girl all my life, so never having had close acquaintance with
domestic fowl! (Is that true of ALL birds, or just chickens?)

You only have to have a cockerel involved if you want *fertilised* eggs.
Many birds produce unfertilised eggs. And we ladies still produce eggs
without having to have a male involved ;-)
