Like with other domesticated animals they’ve been bred for the desired trait. There are chicken breeds for both growing very fast and laying a lot of eggs.

Just like a human egg but it has shell for protection. It’s just an unfertilized nucleus until a rooster comes and sprays the egg with it’s semen.

First the inside of the egg forms in the chicken and then the shell around it. They lay unfertilized eggs for the same reason women have periods.

Wait….so the rooster just spays semen over the egg to fertilize it? There’s no actual mating happening? Is it like that for all birds?

How am I 40 and just learning this?
