It just seems like the math doesn’t add up. Like I eat a healthy diet and I get tired just pooping out the bad stuff, meanwhile a chicken can eat non stop corn and have enough “good” stuff left over to create and throw away an egg the size of their head, every day.

The ancestors of chickens came from southeast Asia where bamboo is plentiful. Bamboo coasts along for several decades or even over a century minding its own business, Then all of it in an area blooms. This can happen in a single year or over multiple years.
When the bamboo is blooming, the seeds are incredibly abundant. The proto-chickens were adapted to take advantage of this large food supply by pumping out lots of eggs when there is a lot to eat.
Domestic chickens carry this further.
