How do chickens lay so many eggs?

830 views

I’ve heard chickens can lay eggs every 1-2 days. It baffles me that something so (relatively) big can come out of them so often. How do they produce so many with such limited internal space? How many are developing in them at any given time?

They are force fed nutrients and have been bred for just this one thing. It’s not even close to natural. There’s a reason that their lifespan is only a few years instead of well over a decade that it could be. Imagine if you (if female) or any woman were to be forced to breed and pop out a kid every 9 months. It’s going to take a massive toll on the body.
