What came first - chicken or egg ?

A Sri Lanka hen has given birth to a chick without an egg...Instead of passing out of the hen's body and being incubated outside, the egg was incubated in the hen for 21 days and then hatched inside the hen.   

I love the sensitive reporting that goes on to say ......The chick is fully formed and healthy, although the mother has died........A post-mortem conducted on the hen's body concluded that it died of internal wounds.

That'll teach her not to try that again

Still, pick out the bits of eggshell and slip in a nice slab of garlic butter.
