What hole do chickens lay their eggs out of?
Your hens lay eggs through their cloaca, or what we call the vent. While eggs exit through the same vent used for everything a chicken excretes, the tissue of the uterus extends with the egg (a sort of inside-out trick) until the egg is entirely out of the vent.
Do chickens poop in the same spot?
When chickens are on the move during the day, they spread out their poop. However, when a chicken rests, the poop will build up in the same spot. Making matters worse, chickens typically all sleep together in the same area.

Why do chickens cluck when they lay an egg?
The eggs song is the cackling noise hens often make after laying an egg. Cackling is a “buck-buck-buck-badaaack” sound, repeated often over as long as 15 minutes after laying an egg and thought to draw predators away from the nesting area. It may also be used to aid mating and as a location finder for the flock.

Do chicken eggs come out of the same hole as poop?
The egg, poop and urine (which for a chicken isn’t a liquid) exits out of the same hole (aka, the vent, as you can see above).
