If a rooster lays a egg on a slanted roof which side will it fall?
A
down
B
up
C
left
D
there is no egg
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: There is no egg. The rooster didn’t lay one because roosters are male.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is a well known fact that every egg laid by a rooster rolls up.

Detailed explanation-3: -What do you get when a turkey lays an egg on top of a barn? (An eggroll!)

Detailed explanation-4: -Ovulation (release of the yolk from the ovary) occurs every 24 – 26 hours regardless of fertilization (so a rooster is not needed). A hen ovulates a new yolk after the previous egg was laid. It takes 26 hours for an egg to fully form (white and shell added), so a hen will lay an egg later and later each day.

Detailed explanation-5: -There’s a Pointy End and a Blunt End on each Egg Just before the hen lays her egg, she stands up a bit in the nest, holding a squatting position, and the egg flips around so that it’s laid blunt end first.
