Unlike most birds, why can chickens continuously produce infertile eggs?

So, I guess(?), duck and quail eggs are available (but people actively breed both and would have eggs….) but I know that turkeys and geese have a breeding season. Also, wild birds only lay fertile eggs in season to reproduce.

Birds and snakes do the same, their estrous cycles are just much longer than a chicken, duck, or quail so it’s not useful to farm them for their eggs.
