This question is ambiguous.
If you want to know what the technical term is for a mother hen sitting on her egg, that would be incubation.
But if by 'term' you were asking how long the incubation period lasts, fertilized chicken eggs hatch in about 21 days (3 weeks).
Because, the chicken has special feathers. So, when the chicken sits on it, the egg doesn't break.
They take care of the egg by sitting on it. Intil it's ready to hatch.
Its a ball of goo that over time it warms up by a chicken sitting on it and it makes a little chick whicht hachtes and makes a chicken !

a chicken egg is about 50g :)
yes because the chicken is inside of the egg.if the chicken wasnt it would be called just an egg
In the context of evolution, the egg came first. The development of hard shells around eggs allowed for animals to lay them outside the body, protecting and nourishing the embryo inside. This evolutionary adaptation predates the existence of chickens as we know them today.
i think you are most likely to say the egg hatched first ,cause with out an egg there wouldn't be a chick. well, actually, an egg can't hatch on its own if there isn't something warm sitting on it, so i think that the chicken came first, and was "magically" (or something) created. why do you want to know were you hatched??????
the egg because dinos lay eggs
seagull's eggs are about the size of an average chicken egg to 2x the size.
From an evolutionist's point of view, the egg came first. A chicken, by definition, must be born from an egg. The egg does not have to be a chicken's egg however. The egg could be layed by an avian that is very similar to a chicken, but which is not a chicken. A small mutation in the genes produces the chicken offspring, which in turn lays eggs to produce more young.
The Chicken!!!! If it was the Egg who sat on the Egg for it to hatch?? Nobody so... God made the Chicken FIRST!
