How/why do chickens lay eggs for humans to eat? How does it work and what is needed?
In: Biology
Yeah as others have said it’s not for us, they do it to have babies. In the wild there would be a rooster in the flock so the eggs would be fertile.
Wild chickens – not bred by humans – don’t lay eggs often. Modern farmed chickens only lay every day because they’ve been bred to and it’s very taxing on their bodies. Particularly producing the calcium for shells.
You can’t know if an egg is fertilised or not until you break it. But fundamentally that’s what you’re eating
