      i could be wrong, but I thought a few years ago the found a fossil that showed that the chicken (ancestor) actually came first (really really!).

      I would argue that the egg came first, the chicken would have evolved from non-chicken ancestors. The genetic changes that made it the ‘first chicken’ would have happened when it was a zygote, which would have been inside the egg!

      I had chicken wings as a starter and an omelette for main course!
