How do chickens have the spare resources to lay a nutrient rich egg EVERY DAY?

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.

Egg-laying hens (like all farmed animals) are bred to prioritize production over the long-term health of their own bodies, so they’re not just using “spare resources.” They’re only given those resources in order to produce eggs. My friends who run bird sanctuaries talk about the terrible condition of hens coming even from free-range operations.
