    One egg? So much water, how?

    These chickens are laying an egg daily, why does one need so much water for that.

      maybe it takes a lot to grow them up, and they have to be fed regularly too

        This German Wikipedia article says that one special hybrid chicken lays roughly 330 eggs in its 1,5 year lifetime. So we are somehow looking at 17.000 gallons of water, or roughly 32 gallons per day… How?

        I would like to see the source of this.
