He found that the fertilised egg had developed within the hen's reproductive system, but stayed inside the hen's body until it hatched.

so the egg came first, so it can make a chicken inside

The BBC's Charles Haviland in Colombo says that the story has made headlines in Sri Lanka, with the Sri Lankan Daily Mirror's concluding: "The chicken came first; not the egg."

eh? they just talked about an egg inside the mother chicken

As reptiles evolved before brids, birds evolving from reptiles, surely the egg came first.

"the egg obviously"

"yeah but what laid the egg then?"

"a dinosaur"

"oh yeah..." *silence*
