I have decided to begin a weekly series called Wisdom top top Wednesdays where ns hope to share with you part random trivia that I’ve learned during the week. It may not have actually anything to execute with pregnancy, childbirth or newborns, yet it will be interesting…
Let’s start off v something everyone has actually wondered about at some point in their lives.
You are watching: Do chickens lay eggs from their anus
Do chicken lay eggs the end their anus, their vagina, or is it some distinct egg hole?
Stephanie from Mama and also Baby Love discussed this through me last week. The conversation started when I mentioned that we’d gotten a chicken that Gabriel had named Bobby. Various other than being fairly confident that it demands food and also water, ns know virtually nothing around chickens.
We talked around chicken foods, watering systems, eggs, and also yep, (maybe due to the fact that we both room birth junkies?) what kind of hole does the egg come the end of.
I mean… is it the chicken’s butt? If so, the is a serious bad architecture because chicken poop smells favor rotten cigarette butts. I determined that the couldn’t be the butt, due to the fact that I know that chicken eggs room sterile as soon as laid. We determined to consult Google on the matter. Five yes, we discovered answers, but I felt that this time ignorance might really have been bliss.
Chickens do lay eggs out of their anus! But, it’s not as poor as friend think.
The egg, poop and urine (which because that a chicken isn’t a liquid) exits the end of the very same hole (aka, the vent, as you can see above).
BUT, once an egg comes out, the chicken’s Cloaca is turned inside out so that the egg can not come in contact with the intestines (fecal matter nastiness).
Here’s a attach for the entirety story.
I’m happy come report that egg laying is not a poor design.
Chicken poop does no come in contact with eggs, unless a chicken decides to walk in it and then placed her talons (that makes me think the Napoleon Dynamite) on she eggs.

If god knew what he to be doing, that would’ve provided the chicken a different channel for the egg instead of share a vent v the feces
