Are all chickens the same?

[Chickassan]

Well you don't! See this is why I said ask questions.

I thought the same thing! But they didnt say they had ducks for sale or trade just I needed a male so i had to ask!

This is a funny fun thread.
Glad the groped chicken is doing fine.
Btw, spoiled is fine. It's when they become a spoiled brat that you did something very wrong. Goes for human or animal. So keep up the spoiling and maybe warm the hands before the groping. After all colder temps are here.

The OP may appreciate learning where eggs come from.
The reproductive tract begins with the ovary. The oviduct consists of the infundibulum which accepts a released ovum and it is fertilized in the 15 minutes it spends there if a rooster is present. The next section is the magnum and the yolk spends 3 hours there while albumen is added. The yolk and albumen enter the isthmus where the inner and outer membrane are added in a little over an hour. The future egg then spends over 20 hours in the uterus or shell gland. Calcium carbonate for the shell, pigment and cuticle are added there just before laying. In very productive birds, the next ovum is released about an hour after the previous egg is laid. So normally it is 25 hours to much longer between eggs.

Actually the proventriculus is the first stomach. The crop is before that. The gizzard is the mechanical stomach.
The esophagus goes from the mouth to the proventriculus. The crop is basically a distended portion of the esophagus external to the body cavity which can hold food and accommodates sporadic feeding.
The proventriculus is closest to a mammalian stomach. Acidic digestive juices and enzymes are added there which start the digestive process.
The gizzard is next and that is where the food is ground up.
