The biological reality of chicken reproduction dictates a clear division of labor: only female chickens, known as hens, possess the necessary anatomy to lay eggs. Roosters, being the male counterparts, do not have an egg-laying system. Their role in a flock is primarily to fertilize the hens' eggs, ensuring the continuation of the species, and to protect the group from potential threats.
A hen's reproductive tract is a complex and efficient system designed for egg production. Even without the presence of a rooster, a hen will still lay eggs regularly, though these eggs will be infertile and will not develop into chicks. The egg-laying process involves the formation of the yolk in the ovary, followed by its journey through the oviduct where the albumen (egg white), shell membranes, and finally the hard shell are added. The color of the egg, whether brown or white, is determined by the hen's breed, not by the rooster or the fertility of the egg.
Therefore, the premise of a rooster laying any kind of egg, regardless of color, is biologically impossible. If an egg is laid, it originated from a hen. For that egg to potentially hatch into a chick, it would need to have been fertilized by a rooster before the shell was fully formed, and then incubated under the right conditions. Without a hen, there are no eggs, and consequently, no chicks.
