Have you been eating a creatures me**es?

Well, unless you do not eat eggs, the answer is YES!

During ovulation.
Female chickens have a menstrual cycle which comes in the form of eggs from at most 18weeks upward.
Like women, hens have ovaries. During a hen’s cycle, an o***y sends a yolk, then the yolk forms what we know of as an 'egg white'.

It then moves through the reproductive tract into the shell gland.
The shell takes about 21 hours to form and "kookoorokoo!" —out pops an egg!

It takes one chicken approximately 26hours to form and lay an egg!

So when next you eat an egg, remember you're eating a creature's 26 hours of hard work.

I wish this creatures could talk, so we can ask if they have menstrual cramps too.
