I feel like everyone but me will know the answer to this, so I feel a little dumb asking. Does the egg and the poo come out of the same hole? My eggs look a little poopy at times, and I haven't inspected too closely, but it seems like there is only one hole back there Hate scooping poop? Scoop it up or Number of flies is directly proportional to number of poops.

Number of flies increases exponentially with number of poops. Chickens, in the spirit of eating everything, WILL eat flies. Chickens however, do NOT eat that many flies. Life is hard, but it's better when you're not alone. Sign up for our newsletter and get our Self-Care and Solidarity eBook just because we love you! Joni Edelman joni edelman, RN. Eggs direct from the cloaca of your own chicken!

We either eat four eggs a day or give them to our neighbors, which is the least we can do because… 1. When a yolk is ready, it moves out of the ovary and into the oviduct — a tube-like structure that is divided into different sections.

Eggs contain three parts- the white albumen , the yolk and the shell. Egg whites do not contain any animal cell and hence, technically, are vegetarian. Chickens, or all birds, have a versatile multi-purpose opening called a Cloaca. There is a myth doing the rounds that chickens urinate through their skin. This is not true at all, chickens have kidneys and produce uric acid crystals and excrete it through the vent.

The other is to transfer sperm to a hen. She stores sperm in her body and her eggs will be fertile for at least a couple of weeks and sometimes much longer before she needs to re-mate. Mammals produce liquid urine which leaves the body through the urethra. Urine contains urea. Instead they coat their feces with uric acid that exits their body through the cloaca as moist chicken poop.

Not producing liquid urine allows birds to have lighter bodies than mammals of similar size. It is an adaption that helps them fly. Fortunately, the lack of liquid urine makes keeping chickens easier.
