Chicken laying egg

A chicken lays eggs as part of its reproductive process. Eggs are formed in the hen's ovaries and travel through the oviduct, where they develop and receive layers of egg white and shell. When the egg is fully formed, it's laid through the vent, which is the same opening used for waste elimination. The process takes about 24-26 hours to complete, and hens usually lay eggs during the daylight hours. The frequency of egg laying can vary based on factors like breed, age, health, and environmental conditions.
