A rooster laid an egg on the barn roof, which way did it roll?
A
uphill
B
downhill
C
it cant
D
southwest
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which direction does the egg roll? The answer appears below the image. Answer: There is no egg. The rooster didn’t lay one because roosters are male.

Detailed explanation-2: -roosters can’t “lay” eggs as in producing them from within their bodies. Of course if “laid” is the equivalent of placing or setting an existing egg atop a roof, that egg will roll downhill.

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

Detailed explanation-4: -Roosters cannot lay eggs. They simply do not have the same reproductive anatomy as a hen. While roosters have the ability to fertilize a hen’s egg, their lack of ovaries and oviduct along with numerous other biological features make it impossible for your rooster to ever lay an egg.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
