Eli5: Why do [most] chickens lay eggs everyday?
In: Biology
They don’t. They lay an egg every few days. (Our 10 chicken average to about 2-3 eggs per day, industrial breeds might make more I guess)
And they have been bred to do so. They were domesticized thousands of years ago somewhere in asia, and then we also kept the ones who layed the most eggs wich slowly lead to these egg machines
