If you follow evolution, an animal was born to the precursor of the common chicken that mutated from its parent to the extent that it was generically different and became the ancestor to the chicken we know today. <BR/>So the concept of the egg came before the chicken but the actual chicken egg came after that first mutated chicken laid its first egg.<BR/><BR/>Yea verily I say unto thee, go forth and do likewise. <BR/> <BR/>To quote Ford Prefect: Thanks for the fish.scout29chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14727192295708853643noreply@blogger.com
