Which came first?! Shell-shocked cook produces fried egg in shape of a CHICKEN

It’s been the age-old question; which came first, the chicken or the egg?

But Simon Steer appears to have produced the answer - after cooking an egg which formed the shape of a chicken.

Shell-shocked Simon saw the feathered fowl appear in his frying pan as he made breakfast.

The yolk made the chicken’s head and feathered chest, with the white of the egg forming the rest of the bird's body.

Simon, partner Rosie and daughter Devin, were astonished by the freaky egg at their home in Dunkeswell, Devon.

He said: 'We breed hens, so breakfast is usually eggs and bacon with a cup of tea.

'I was just making breakfast, I went to break my egg into the pan and lo and behold the chicken formation happened.

'I said, come have a look at this, by which point everyone rushed over and we were in fits of laughter, it was very amusing.

'We didn't show anyone to start with, it was just bizarre and one of those odd things that happens.'
