Why should there be any? Its like asking what the spiritual ramifications of a chicken breaking its leg are. A chicken had an accident. If its funny or weird enough it gets on the news.
As for the what came first question, there can be no doubt that chickens descended from another species of bird which laid eggs, so eggs definitely pre-date chickens.
the egg was incubated in the hen - just like i thought it would of been before i looked! anyway the chicken was first the book of god said so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are the "spiritual" ramifications of this?
The spiritual ramifications are - that the law of karma is at work doing what it does best.
Cats have been born with 2 heads and donkeys with 5 legs.
Its just a diversion from the norm - by the material energy being temporarily diverted from the blue print.
Why?
Just because it can............and it is not an accident.
There are no such thing as accidents.
We should be asking why not.
On some level karma is at work......... Thats for sure.

Genesis - Chapter 1 - the fourth day
20 God said, 'Let the waters be alive with a swarm of living creatures, and let birds wing their way above the earth across the vault of heaven.' And so it was.
21 God created great sea-monsters and all the creatures that glide and teem in the waters in their own species, and winged birds in their own species. God saw that it was good.

Originally posted by twhitehead As I thought, chickens are not mentioned.
Not explicitly. However, although they may not be able to fly, they are "winged birds" (one wonders what other kinds of birds there are) so I think they are catered for.
But what is not mentioned is how they were created. God may have caused eggs to appear, from which all the birds emerged, thus the eggs can come first and TWhitehead still wins.
