more than I wanted to know about chickens/eggs

Please read the above. The answer to which end comes first
is basically..."depends." And I quote:

"The egg passes through the oviduct small end first, but is
laid large end first. In the vagina, the egg is turned
horizontally just before laying. If the hen is disturbed on
the nest, the egg may be prematurely layed small end first.
"Oviposition" is the act of
 pushing the egg from the oviduct."

Enjoy your next egg.
