I know… you didn’t come here to see chicken porn. But I thought this was interesting. It’s something I never thought much about (thankfully). It seems to be quite an ordeal for the hen.
On a related note: Somehow, yesterday, while scouring the web for you… I watched a couple human birth videos which were mesmerizing. This is A LOT like that.
Eggs Benny, anyone?
…and she does this daily for HOW many years?
wow …ummmm yeah
Um, can someone tell me something?
Well, first of all that was gross- especially the clear gel that dripped out of the hole afterwards…but was that it’s butthole?
ha-
I really don’t need to read this, but if you really want to know, here’s a link with another link in it to help…

My God, that must feel so good once it’s come out. Makes me glad I’m a guy. And a human.
The “OOO-AAAH” bird lays square eggs. She got the name because when she starts laying the egg, she says “OOOOOH”. When she finally lays it, she says “AAAH!”
On a serious note, I raised chickens for several years. A friend who also raised chickens told me about this so I HAD to try it:
When a chicken lays an egg, the egg shell is soft for several seconds. I waited (for a long time, I might add) for her to start laying. Just as soon as she dropped the egg, I grabbed it between my thumbs and middle fingers on opposite sides of the egg and held it for several seconds until the shell hardened. VOILA! a square egg!
