I remember the days watching the hens laid their eggs and sit on them for days before hatching beautiful chicks. When the chicks are able to walk, mother hen would carefully watch over them while they plucked away until the mongoose came along and mother would have to find a way to defend her babies. That's the story, now come the question. Which comes first the chicken or the egg?
