No, it isn't. Eggs are produced by daily ovulation. You only need a rooster if you want baby chicks.

In my experience, I take my chicks outdoors for a few hours a day when they are about 2-3 weeks old, returning them to the warmth of the brooder at night. This gets them acclimated to the outdoors without the risk of them getting too cold while they are still adjusting.

 

I leave my chickens outdoors fulltime after 6 weeks.

 

Hope that helps!

 I just spoke with Joe in the clerk's office at North Hempstead, NY who told me that according to local regulations, chickens are considered livestock and are not allowed on residential property. Since I wasn't sure if you were in Manhasset proper or in one of the unicorporated areas there, I encourage you to follow up with your local zoning office before you get chickens.

 

Good luck!
