"Give me one..."
"I want this one..."
"You didn't feed this chicken this morning, did you?" someone asked.
"I didn't feed it specially. If you don't believe me, you can check when you slaughter it later. I wouldn't say absolutely, but most of their stomachs are flat, and the chickens from my home are well-raised, almost producing an egg every day. See, there are fresh eggs in that cage..."
With An Dafu's explanation, someone peered into the cage, and sure enough, there were still eggs in there.
Moreover, some chickens have strings of eggs inside their bellies, some even unripe.
These days, most families raise chickens primarily for eggs, and it's rare to see chickens that lay eggs daily; even every two days would be considered high output.
Old chickens that can't lay eggs are usually the ones sold, and finding ones in their laying period is indeed a rarity.
