Ticks generally have a three stage life cycle based on three blood meals. Born as Larval with 6 legs they need a blood meal to molt into Nymphs, then another blood meal to become Adults. Ticks are drawn to carbon dioxide and use it as target to find mammals. Often you will find a concentration of ticks along the side of the roads due to the exhaust fumes from cars (carbon dioxide among them).

Are ticks born in deer feces?

No, ticks are not born in deer feces. Ticks hatch from eggs laid by adult female ticks, typically in leaf litter or grassy areas.
