An egg weights about 60g in average, and a hen 3kg, how the hen can produce every day something about 2% of it’s weight like this? Which kind of metabolism the hen have to achieve this?

Wild animals aren’t this productive; humans expressly bred them to produce ridiculous amounts of animal product and to instinctively rely on humans for care even if they didn’t.
So only *domesticated* chickens lay that many eggs, only *domesticated* cows produce that much milk, only *domesticated* sheep and goats need to be shorn because they don’t shed naturally, etc.
And yes, they gobble up huge amounts of crops to upkeep that production.
This also means you can’t let those creatures out into the wild to “be free”. As they are, they now require human care, or they will die in various horrible ways. Being eaten alive butt-first by maggots due to poor hygiene is a pretty nasty one.
