6. Evolution is a given, therefore

the egg came first. Something that was not quite yet a chicken laid the egg that produced the first chicken. Simple.

7. I SAW IT.

I actually started crying when they showed the 7 chickens in the coop where they can't flap their wings.

and then again when the mother protected her chicks from the hawk.

makes me want to avoid eating chickens and eggs.

10. Wasn't it a good show though?

the chicken factory made me very mad but the other stories aside from the fighting rooster asswipe were uplifitng. that lady that drive around with her chicken was too funny.

11. Chickens are the most cruelly treated animals on the planet...

and in the greatest numbers.
