Do chickens poo and lay eggs out the same hole?

Yes actually they do, I have owned chickens since i was 10 years old and everyday i gather eggs and have to wash them off,it also may depend on if the chickens roost in on or around their laying boxes if the laying box has a top than they probably wont poop on the eggs but most chickens will end up roosting ON TOP of the laying boxes and poop on the eggs while they sleep, just because you provide a roost away from the laying boxes doesn't mean they will sleep on itmy chickens have a roost away from the laying boxes but getting them to sleep there is impossible.If they have found an outdoor nest to lay eggs the answer is NO, the chicken will not poop in the nest or around it as long as their roost is not above the nest.Another answer: Chicken may well lay eggs in the same locations that they also 'poop' in but they don't lay eggs from the same bodily orifice from which they have a 'poop' which appears to be what the question is asking.


How many fertalized eggs will the chicken lay in one setting?

A chicken can lay anywhere between 5 and 12 eggs in one setting. (numbers can vary, but this is about the average). Also, if you have other laying chickens in the same nesting boxes, it is not uncommon for the laying chicken to steal eggs from the other chickens. So dont be suprised to find more than the average amount of eggs. We've come home to find a chicken laying on 18 fertilized eggs before. of course, these included the stolen eggs too!
