      Yup, and the egg from which the first chicken was hatched was laid by a very close precursor of a chicken that was not yet quite a chicken herself, unlike her chick.

        Probably took millionaires of years. Alot of dead chicks, different versions and finally the stable version we see today.

          I don’t see why today’s chicken would necessarily be more stable than a chicken precursor. If you look at the way chickens changed in the last few decades, you’ll probably find that it happened much faster than ever before, making them less stable, I’d argue.

    I thought he was going to say “I did” which would work on multiple levels, but that’s funny, too.
