Scientists claim they have finally discovered the answer to the age-old question: Which came first – the chicken or the egg?

Researchers at the university of Sheffield and University of Warwick have identified that a protein called ovocledin (OC-17) is crucial in the formation of egg shells and is produced in the pregnant hen's ovaries. And therefore, the answer must be…The chicken! What they've not yet proved is how the protein-producing chicken existed in the first place. Back to the lab then!
