		In fact, egg protein is used as the standard against which the quality of other food proteins is measured.
		Eggs contain vitamin A, the B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin), and vitamin D. All are necessary during childhood and adolescence for growth.
		Eggs also contain an abundant supply of minerals, such as iron and phosphorus, that are essential for building and maintaining strong, healthy bodies.

	Which came first?
		Chickens are a type of fowl, so the Christian Bible says that chickens came first.
		Since both the birds and the eggs were on earth first, historians weren't around to record which came first.
		A chicken can't be born without a chicken egg and a chicken egg can't be laid without a chicken.

	Which Came First? The Chicken or The Egg
		The evolutionary advance that set the reptiles apart from the amphibians was the development of the amniote or shelled egg which could be laid on land, freeing the reptiles from the necessity of returning to the water as adults for reproduction.
		The oldest known fossil egg was found in Texas, and dates to the lower Permian period of the earth's history, over 275 million years ago.

	What was first: the chicken or the egg?
		A chicken egg is an egg from which a chicken (f/m) is born.
		The evolution theory gives the answer as follows: some kind of animal that was not a chicken but resembles a chicken quite a lot has an egg with a mutation, and from this egg, the chicken is born.
		Here, possibly the chicken was formed from another type of bird by a small evolutionary step, and in this case, the answer is as above, depending on the definition of the notion of chicken egg.

	Chicken or the Egg
		I mailed the chicken and the egg, each in its own separate packaging, and kept careful track of when each shipment was sent from a post office in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and when it subsequently arrived at its intended destination in New York City.
		In mailing the chicken, I was careful to adhere to the restrictions described in the Postal Service’s Domestic Mail Manual [DMM] 57, as updated in Postal Bulletin [PB] 2209, April 3, 2003.
		Nonetheless, the postal employees handled both the chicken and the egg deftly, with dispatch, and with courtesy.

	Which Came First, The Chicken or The Egg? A Foul Metaphor for Teaching
		At a recent conference, a speaker repeatedly peppered his remarks with the phrase “it’s a chicken and egg thing” to the point of exhaustion of the audience and to the detriment of his intended message.
		Prior to the arrival of the chicken, a pre-chicken creature that was at least one generation away from our present-day chicken, laid an egg that contained an embryo with DNA consistent with the “new” aviary creature known as chicken.
		In particular, the use of the “chicken and egg” metaphor was identified by one of the professors who related that its use prompted a contentious classroom debate in one of his graduate courses—not about the topic at hand, but on the merit and accuracy of the metaphor itself.

	The Great Chicken Debate - the Chicken or the Egg? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		We must be careful here, since the coexistence of chickens and eggs is somewhat guarenteed and because if either chickens exist without eggs, or eggs without chickens, we have broken the cycle if and only if we continue to have chickens that do not reproduce or eggs that do not hatch.
		However, while chickens are a necessary condition for the existence of eggs, eggs are merely a sufficient condition for the existence of chickens and not necessary!
		Eggs must hold a chicken by definition; if they do not, they are merely an empty shell and violate the primary assumption that a chicken comes from an egg.

	Putting the Chicken Before the Egg
		Local eggs, organic eggs, cagefreeeggs, farm-raised eggs, free range eggs, omega-3 eggs, and biodynamic eggs are all being promoted as niche products as producers seek growth in a mature market.
		Eggs free of antibiotics, fertilized eggs, natural eggs and, on the other end of the spectrum, irradiated eggs offer still more options.
		As far as the USDA is concerned, all eggs are "natural." Nutritionally speaking, low cholesterol and high omega-3 eggs are better for you, but experts point out that most people don't eat so many eggs that such differences have too significant an impact.

	The Chicken or the Egg?
		This version is interesting because an egg containing a chicken might have been laid by a chicken or a non-chicken, which of course affects the answer.
		At the same time, all the biological evidence says that the ancestors of modern chickens were already oviparous or egg-layingthat a male and a female member of the ancestral species of the modern chicken, call this species “protochicken”, mated with each other and created an egg.
		Due to a reproductive mutation, a whole sequence of evolutionary changes originally expressed in the fetal development of an ancestral arthropod, and originally recapitulated within the womb and egg it inhabited, were suddenly exposed to the environment, or at least to the hive, in a case of “ovum interruptus”.

	Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
		If chickens were interested in tracing their family trees, they would need to bone up on some DNA research done in Japan.
		So "the egg" may be one answer to the old riddle, but here's another, if a little longer: The chicken came after the bird, the bird came after the dinosaur, the dinosaur came after the egg.
		And the egg came long after the first single-celled bacteria, the prokaryotes, evolved in the oceans, some 3.5 billion years ago.

	Howstuffworks "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
		In an animal like a chicken, DNA from a male sperm cell and a female ovum meet and combine to form a zygote -- the first cell of a new baby chicken.
		Chickens evolved from non-chickens through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote.
		The zygote cell is the only place where DNA mutations could produce a new animal, and the zygote cell is housed in the chicken's egg.

	The Egg Came Before the Chicken (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The idea is that Charles Darwin demonstrated that the chicken was preceded by borderline chickens and so it is simply indeterminate as to where the pre-chickens end and the chickens begin.
		So although it is indeterminate as to which particular egg was the first chicken egg, we can know that whichever egg that may be, it precedes the first chicken -- whichever that may be.
		It is explicit in Roger Teichmann's "The Chicken and the Egg" Mind 100/399 (July 1991) 371-72.

	The Chicken and the Egg - PetPlace.com
		The chicken slowly evolved from a reptile, into a flying reptile, into a bird and eventually into what we consider a chicken.
		The chicken, incidentally, is a descendent of the red jungle fowl, which can still be found in Southeast Asia.
		Domesticated chickens have been kept since 3200 B.C.E., and records show that Egyptians raised chickens for cockfighting in 1400 B.C.E. Therefore, from an evolutionary point of view, it can be argued that the egg came first.

		Mr Papineau, an expert in the philosophy of science, agreed that the first chicken came from an egg and that proves there were chicken eggs before chickens.
		He told PA people were mistaken if they argued that the mutant egg belonged to the "non-chicken" bird parents.
		"I would argue it is a chicken egg if it has a chicken in it," he said.

	Salmonella Enteritidis: From the Chicken to the Egg (April 1990)
		At that time it was determined that eggs were being contaminated by Salmonella in chicken feces on the outside of the egg shell, which penetrated into the eggs through cracks in the shell.
		The yolk of one egg broke onto the other eggs during cooking, and all three family members became ill. Madden explains that the one broken egg was probably responsible for all three illnesses, as it is extremely unlikely that more than one egg per container would be contaminated.
		Leave eggs in their original carton, and store them in the main section of the refrigerator not the egg section in the door, as the temperature in the door is higher.

	Chicken And Egg Problem
		Between "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" and "pulling one's self up by one's own bootstraps", I'm not sure which is the more prosaic and which the more poetic.
		Since the First Genuine Chicken would probably (I guess we'll never know for certain) have interbred with almost-but-not-quite-cockerels, she might very well have had hatch from her first egg (by some reasoning, the First Genuine Chicken Egg) something which was not a genuine chicken.
		In either case, you either have an egg with a chicken in it, or a chicken with eggs in it.

		The question 'What came first, the chicken or the egg?' is no longer open for debate, for a philosopher, a geneticist and a chicken farmer, claim to have found the answer.
		Charles Bourns said that the egg before the chicken theory was more plausible as eggs had been in existence even before the chicken had evolved.
		The question 'What came first, the chicken or the egg?' is philosophical.

		Today’s chicken, regardless of the variety, is descended from Gallus gallus, a wild red jungle fowl indigenous to south Asia.
		However, it is likely that chicken made it to the table early on, though documentation seems to show that eggs and cockfights were of greater initial interest to those who later adopted the fowl as food.
		Interestingly, the egg yolk (from the Old English geolu, which meant, and is also the root of, “yellow”) and albumen (egg white, from the Latin albus, “white”) are such complicated materials that food science has still not been able to fully explain their composition and behavior.

		This "not-chicken" ancestor was probably the ancestor of more than one of the current sets of animals that lay eggs, so we can assume that this "not-chicken" ancestor laid eggs.
		Perhaps this "not-chicken" animal was also a great-great-ancestor of the duck, the chicken and a few other animals that laid eggs.
		If we call today's chicken an example of an animal that is 100% a chicken, then at some point in the past, we had an animal that was 49.999% a chicken, that laid an egg, that hatched an animal that was maybe 50.035% a chicken.

	Chicken And Egg Dilemma
		Nowadays we know that chickens, or eggs, for that matter, were not created by God, but that they are the product of a long evolution, and that makes the Dilemma more difficult to solve.
		The arrival of this strange chicken has maybe happened on several occasions independently, and the first modern chicken might not be the ancestor of all our chickens, or it might even have died childless, but this is of no importance for our discussion.
		The only factor of importance is, whether the egg out of which the first modern chicken was born, was a real chicken's egg.

		So now we have this instance of a chicken carrying a genetic defect in its DNA ready to pass it on to the next generation over a sloppy night of tequila shots and that hen named Helen, who it always thought would be cute if she shed a few ounces.
		While it can be argued that the chicken that had the initial mutation came first, but it is more of a mixed breed of the previous instance of the animal and the new version, rather than the whole new version that occurs at the next egg.

		The company's decision to purchase only cage-free shell eggs means that approximately 31,000 fewer birds per year will endure life in a battery cage.
		Along those same lines, the company has also pledged to purchase only eggs from sources that meet the standards of Humane Farm Animal Care, an independent farm animal welfare certifying organization.
		Its decision to use only cage-free eggs will have a far-reaching effect on other companies, suppliers, and consumers, as it will drive changes in egg sourcing practices for the entire food service industry," said Wayne Pacelle, HSUS president and CEO.
