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?)

Lots of egg-laying species lay unfertilized eggs, which the males
fertilize afterwards. I don't know what the case is for different bird
species, though.

If you think about it, humans "lay" unfertilized eggs, too. It's just
that our eggs are very, very small.
