Science (Biology): Which came first? The chicken or the egg?

AsapScience is a great Youtube channel that does an excellent job graphically explaining scientific concepts.  They can be very entertaining.  With this video you can easily start off a class on genetics or reproduction.  Simply propose the age old question, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?  Discuss this a little bit with your class and see what they have to say.  How much to they understand the theory of evolution and natural selection?  You will find that they have some amazing ideas to share.  Remember to have your students justify their reasoning using scientific concepts that they may already understand.  Then just show them the video and see if their ideas jive with how AsapScience explains it.
