Is a chicken "born" with a certain amount of eggs?

[cottagechick]

I have been wondering about this. I think humans are born with a certain number of eggs. I was just wondering if it was the same for chickens...

just like us humans

At hatch, pullet chicks have
tens of thousands of potential eggs (i.e., ova)
which theoretically could be laid.
