"You'll have to watch one I guess. :)" I have--many times. The chicken egg is a cell--a very large cell--and I eat a lot of cells--sometimes four at a time. Basically, I have never found an intelligent chicken egg. They sit in the fridge and they wait for me to eat them. When I grew up on a farm these eggs were fertilized and very much viable. I often ate them minutes after leaving the hen (the egg, not me). They did not act "intelligent" as most of us use and understand the term. These cells simply waited for every condition in the universe to come to them in which case they were programmed to reproduce. But they did nothing to act intelligently on their own behalf. They could only wait (glumly) for two scenarios: An infinite number of disastrous events to create the absence of necessary chemicals coming into contact ensuring their demise...or one very precise set of events that would allow embedded genetic information to take a necessary path. In neither of these possibilities did they participate as actor. Indeed, by placing themselves in the protection of a rather dazed and uncomprehending mother, they merely attracted the most dangerous animal in the known universe when it comes to eggs...me.
