Can someone please explain the price elasticity of supply?

Think of cows and chickens. The supply of milk and eggs is very inelastic in the short run because no matter what the price and demand, the animals will keep producing at the same rate. Now int he long run, the supply can be elastic because we can breed more or fewer cows chickens or turn them into meat.
