Might be a strange question.....

[ozark_chickies]

but which end of the egg comes out first?

I think it has to be the smaller pointed end, but does anyone know for sure?

I will have to catch my hens in the act to know for sure, but I would guess the smaller end, too.

The only thing I'm sure of is which end of the chicken it comes out of. I think.

Was curious myself and thought it was this way as it made sense from a physical point of view.

You'll have to look at the link to get the answer. Bet most of us would have thought it the other way round.
