A rooster is, of course, a male chicken, and only hens, or female chickens, lay eggs. But every now and then, a disease may cause a rooster to change its gender and become a hen, or vice-versa. Some of these roosters-turned-hens have actually laid eggs!
But this still does not mean that a rooster can lay an egg; it’s still true that only a female chicken can lay an egg. The most we can say about the rooster’s egg-laying ability is that some roosters that turn into hens can lay eggs.
Sometimes, small, misshapen eggs found in a hen house are called “rooster’s eggs.” But these are simply hen eggs that failed to develop properly.

No The Rooster Does Not Lay Egg.
Roosters Are A Male There Is A Diffrence
Between Hen’s & Roosters Because
Hens Are Females & Roosters Are Males.
So The Answer Is That No Roosters
Does Not Lay Eggs !
Yep folks, I actually got up this morning to confirm what my wife has been trying to tell me for a couple months. I have this chicken that has a hens body and dull colors, but it has wattles and spurs and it is the crowing thing every morning it will wake anybody up. O-Yea, one more thing, “IT LAYS THE BIGEST EGGS I’VE SEEN FOR A BANTAM”. I don’t know just what to call it. The other chickens kind of pick on it so we kept it in during the cold weather and this morning we got up and the pretties egg was in the front of the cage just as white as could be. Now explain how a chicken can have the big wattles and comb and spurs, big spurs, and crow like crazy, but will lays egg. Now I’m sure I’m not the only person that has one of these roohens or whatever you call it. We named it sweetpea because it’s so nice. I think it’s a hen that crows and has big spurs. I just had to share this, thanks, Chan

I have a hen that craw like a rooster. I always thought it is a roaster, but her body looks like a hen. today I found her/his fist egg. 1/2 size of regular egg. greenish color.
Oh, by the way roosters do lay atleast a small egg. Here in Africa, it happens once in a while. The eggs they lay are really small, almost the size of a bird’s. Now i don’t know why but it is true, many people have witnessed it in their lifetime here in Africa including me.
