egg layer
Chicken or duck
An egg layer is an animal that reproduces by laying eggs rather than giving birth to live young.
The term most often refers to chickens kept for egg production rather than meat: We have six egg layers in the backyard coop.
Birds, reptiles, fish, and insects are all egg layers.
