Quote:A Sri Lanka hen has given birth to a chick without an egg, in a new twist on the age-old question of whether the chicken or the egg came first.

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.

The chick is fully formed and healthy, although the mother has died.


Evolution in action ?

No evolution. The article says there was an egg inside the body. Evolution would be if there was no egg. What we have here is roughly a Chicken having a tubal pregnancy.
