Chickybabe, this one is for you

It sounds like the start of a joke when i say what happens when you put a geneticist, philosopher and chicken farmer in the room together but its not. Those funky people over in England did eggactly that to discover the answer to the age old question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. While the full details are available via the CNN article i can provide an eggcerpt of the decision:

It was the egg.

Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal’s life.

At the time of writing this post i have not been able to find Chicken Supporters crying fowl but i will keep you a breast (and two drum sticks) of the situation.
