Last time we were taking a closer look at the humble chicken egg. And humble it seems, as one casually takes this wondrous 2 inch-long package out of the frig and holds it between the thumb and forefinger. But, if this same egg had been fertilized by a rooster and allowed to be kept warm under a chicken, over the next 20 days of incubation, a remarkable and miraculous chain of events would occur. And, to exemplify the obvious pre-thought put into this design, the blood vessels to provide oxygen, and others to eliminate waste, attached to membrane lining, and still others growing out of the chick, connecting it to the yolk to provide nourishment, the development of an air sac, the chick's instinctive positioning of its head near that air cell, the directing and double bending of its neck, were enlisted last time.
