scrolldown to the part about the hen's perspective on laying eggs. You are half right but once again nature proves that it knows how to do things right.
The Hen's Perspective on Laying Eggs (Wieckmann, 1896; Grzimek, 1964):
1. Chickens, as well as other birds, have a common opening for reproduction, and for the evacuation of stools and urine. This opening is called the "vent". They do not have a bladder because their urine is not a fluid. It is a white paste, called urates, that you can observe surrounding the droppings. The intestine, ureters and oviduct come together into a common chamber called the cloaca. This is a rather dirty place, whereas the egg is always clean and almost sterile when laid.
2. The hen turns part of the cloaca and the last segment of the oviduct inside out, "like a glove." The described red membrane is then everted inside of these organs. The egg emerges far outside, at the end of the bulge. So it cannot contact the walls of the cloaca and get contaminated by stools or urine.
by the way i like mine scrambled or over easy, yum.

That single external opening is what birds are about. it is also why the eggs are enclosed in shells.
Unless you lick the eggshells fresh from the chicken's cloaca I don't see how it makes much difference to egg eaters.

that is incorrect. chickens lay eggs through a special orifice called a 'vent'.

The next time I'm in a brick fight it'll be good to have that knowledge. Why do you stare at the hind end of chickens? how much does it pay. Brick fight anyone?

Not correct. The feces exit from the anal sphincter, the egg from the ovarian sphincter. Both are in the south end of a northbound chicken, though.

I think you're wrong... I think there is actually 2 holes down there though pretty close together, but not the same. I think. I'd like to think you're wrong and I'm right simply because I bake with them and thinking about it would make me gag. So, lets just say I'm right ;-)

This would sit well under a different category...

R U sure about that? No, I didn't know, but it's certainly something to think about.
