Now we know it was the chicken! Because it’s a fact! Because a computer got involved and solved everything!

Scientists in England, using a supercomputer named HECToR (their capitalization, not mine) determined that there’s a bit of protein necessary for the formation of an egg and that protein is only found in chickens.

Still no word on where that first chicken came from though.
