incidentally, chickens have a cloaca - urine, feces, and eggs all emerge from a single orifice, which is also used for [what passes for chicken] sex. No vaginas.
That's what I thought, but I didn't want to get into all that with the kid. This was a bedtime discussion and she was stalling, so I was trying to answer as quickly as possible so she'd shut up already and go to sleep! ;) And I still think it's funny that she wants to go find a chicken and lift it up. I believe her exact wording was "Mama, can we go find a chicken and lift it up and see the eggs come out of the vagina?" Heh. Lifting chickens. Kids are funny.
