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’ve been selectively bred to produce such a large number of eggs. This also takes a toll on their bodies and can cause serious health problems.
