how do chickens mate?

what i know is the equation for chickens : 1 cock for 10 chickens , a lucky one !

This seems like a facetious question, but here's a whack at an actual answer. The Egg. Here's why: the actual chicken genus and species is for sure derived from a common ancestor with other birds and fowl, diverging through genetic (and morphological) changes over time. At some point, the "ancestor chicken" produced an offspring that would for all intents and purposes be insdistinguishable from what we now know as a "chicken" but was the offspring of a demonstrably different (but probably very similar) animal.

usually the first year after they are chicks, ex: if they are born this year they will mate next year.\n\nAnd no they do not mate for life, the ducks I have mate with which ever female they can catch.\n\nSwans on the other hand do mate for life

They are birds. \nThey lay eggs.

Male geese.\nGeese typically mate for life (though thats not to say, they don't have multiple partners now and then). During breeding season, the male goose is very territorial of his females. This can especially be demonstrated with Canadian geese! Scary stuff. :)\n\nA male goose will charge at threats, with his wings spread out and his head lowered. After the attacker has been scared off...he'll return to his female and they'll do a little ritual where the male boasts about himself, and the female seems to congratulate him. Its thought that they reaffirm their bond to eachother through displays like this.\n\nA male goose also protects his young. Both mother and father help raise the goslings....while in ducks, the mother does all the work.

depends on what kind of babies you mean. Baby chicks for example hatch from eggs. Everyone knows storks bring baby humans.

Science tells us that chickens evolved from non-chickens through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote ( egg). These changes and mutations only have an effect at the point where a new zygote is created. That is, two non-chickens mated and the DNA in their new zygote contained the mutations that produced the first true chicken.  \nSo i would this it's safe to assume that the egg came first.\n\nBest of luck to you.

They mate for life.\nThey shed like a snake.\nThey can, in fact, be blue.\nThe females carry the eggs on their sides.\nThey swim backwards.\nThey're cute. ;3;

you can't, it's impossible. they are not of the same species or genius let alone class. good luck trying to even get them to mate.

The hen of course. Each species was sent in pair and then they multiplied. Imagine a mammal, it does not lay eggs, so it must have come as in its animal form first.

Birds cross breed (hybridise) quite frequently both in the wild and in captivity.\n\nWild hybrids are way more common than most people think, but unless you are a birdwatcher you probably wouldn’t even spot them. People often see an odd looking birds and simply think it’s a type they haven’t seen before, when in fact it is a hybrid of two well-known species. I used to share an office with an ornithologist, and probably 10% of the inquiries he got about stange birds turned out to be hybrids.\n\nDucks are particularly noted for forming wild  hybrids and many if not all north American mallards for example are of mixed species ancestry (see the first link below).\n\nHumans also produce hybrid birds in captivity. Chickens are commonly bred with pheasants or guinea fowl to produce mutts, and occasionally chickens are crossbred with turkeys.

they lay eggs in clusters! many of them. and yes..they do have some sort of sex but not the version that you have in your mind.

instincts...just like how animals know how to reproduce.

The answer is either “No” with a but or “Yes” with an and.\n\nRobins and chickens are totally separate species of birds. They are no more closely related than humans are to baboons. You wouldn’t expect a human and a baboon to be able to mate and produce babies would you? So no, robins and chickens can’t interbreed.\n\nHowever there are many different species of animal that CAN interbreed and produce offspring. But the different species need to be fairly closely related, far more closely than human and baboon… or a chicken and a robin.\n\nFor example we can interbreed horses and donkeys to produce baby mules, and we can breed cattle and buffalo, or camels and llamas. \n\nAnd the same is true of birds. While chickens can’t be bred with robins they are often bred with guinea fowl and pheasants for example, and occasionally bred with turkeys (see links below). \n\n\nSo to answer the question, yes different types of bird can mate and produce chicks, there's no doubt about that. But chickens and robins are not two types that are capable of it. Chickens and turkeys or chickens and pheasants are.\n\n\n>>>>>A robin and a chicken might be a stretch, but how about\n>>>>>two different types of sparrows? \n\nYes, in fact the various sparrow species are amongst the most likely to hybridise.\n\n>>>>>>Does it ever happen in the wild?\n\nRegularly. See the last two links.\n\n__________________________\n\nAddenda\n\nScientist said: "Only organisms of the same species can produce viable offspring"\n\nThat is simply not true. \n\nI know they teach you that in school, but it has no factual basis whatsoever and is not accepted by any biologist anywhere on the planet.\n\nJust to name a few examples cattle and bison, wolves and coyotes and fin and blue whales are all perfectly capable of breeding. They all interbreed commonly in the wild and the offspring are all perfectly fertile and have young themselves. \n\nEven lions and tigers will produce offspring that are capable of producing cubs, though most are not, and there have been at least 2 documented cases of mules having foals.\n\n\nUnless someone wants to argue that cattle and buffalo are the same species then ability to produce fertile offspring doesn't prevent two animals being seperate species in any way.\n\n\nSal said: "There are different kinds of chickens that can interbreed with each other. But a chicken can't breed with a turkey."\n\nA total lie with no basis in reality. I just provided links which prove that turkeys can breed with chickens.\n\nSal also said"This is one of thousands of examples as to why the theory of evolution is hard to swallow. If animals can change into other kinds of animals, you would be able to see at least a slight form of interbreeding betweeen different species, but you dont."\n\nWell since I have proved this belief completely wrong, and Sal now knosw that interspecies breding is common, even in the wild, I guess Sal will now accept evolution?\n\nYeah, right. Like facts and evidence played any part his belief.

Interesting fact.  God did NOT create chickens!  They are a human creation.  A hybrid of 2 other types of birds.  They wanted to be able to combine the tastiness of one bird with the domesticability of another, and voila, they got a chicken.

Well all animals attract the opposite sex by the female of the species coming on heat.This function allows the female to attract the male over a wide area.Usually a dominant male breeds most of the females,this ensures that the resulting offspring are strong and healthy

may be i can interpret your question this way.. why do chickens in the course of evolution formed in the way that they lay eggs, and in the same way why do humans give birth..\n\nin this case i can suggest you to think about the different modes of multiplications. chickens opted to go for the egg mode, which they found reliable and fit for survival. as evolution proceeded humans were formed and they were fit with the baby mode of multiplication.
