Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Tuesday May 08, 2007
So, there's the old question Which came first, the chicken or the egg? In our case, it was the chicken.
Okay, let me back up and explain. A few months back my wife Karen decided she and my son Nick were going to raise hens for eggs. She started with four chicks, of which three (Chick, Eggo and Yoga) have survived to this day. A few weeks back, when Nick and I were gone on a cub scout campout, Karen and Sam, my other son, went out and bought a chick, Mrs. Shiner Bock, a few weeks older than the others. Yesterday, Shiner presented us with her first egg, a brown egg with little red flecks on it!
So, in our case, indeed, the chicken came before the egg.
