Chickens do not get pregnant; rather, they lay eggs that can be fertilized by a rooster before they are laid or remain unfertilized. If a rooster mates with a hen, his sperm fertilizes the hen’s egg in the oviduct before the egg is laid. If the egg is not fertilized, it is called a “table egg” and is the type of egg typically found in grocery stores and consumed by humans. If the egg is fertilized, it may hatch into a chick if incubated for the appropriate amount of time.
