a good question too. simultaneously, the level of pain isn't really a factor in giving birth (see human female) so much as if it could survive the process well enough. XD I imagine square (vaginas) would help. :)
As a person who has helped raise chickens I've seen the same hen lay nearly round and oval eggs depending on when fertilization happens. In fact we knew a round egg was usually a sign that that egg wasnt fertilized at all and that it was what my family called dropped batches. It was usually a sign that the hen was in between mating cycles.
The chart shows the chicken egg to be significantly less elliptic and significantly less asymmetric than the average egg. Very much an outlier. Maybe you should get better at reading graphs instead of confusing people by pretending to know what you're talking about.
@@E44ghCr4p It can be very far away from the average egg, that wouldn't make it an outlier. An outlier is a data point that is far away from other data points, and you really can't say that about chicken eggs. They aren't where most eggs are concentrated, granted, but there are still a great many eggs nearby that calling it an outlier is just... wrong. Also, with how varied the egg shapes are, I'm not even sure it's all that far away. I wouldn't be surprised if it's within 2 standard deviations or so.

There is actually a bird that lays square eggs. It is called the Oohah bird. It probably derived its name from the way it says "Ooh Ah" every time it lays one.

It's because square is bigger than circles, circles are better.

"Chicken eggs are outliers"
Circles data point bang slap in the middle of everything. Yup, such an outlier.
I was thinking the same. It's in a distinct neighborhood, and every member of that neighborhood could hardly be called an outlier.
Likewise, maybe there's something we just misunderstood, though.
The chart shows the chicken egg to be significantly less elliptic and significantly less asymmetric than the average egg. Very much an outlier. Maybe you should get better at reading graphs instead of confusing people by pretending to know what you're talking about.
@@E44ghCr4p ...not really. Later on in the video we are shown the average egg shape. And its very similair to the egg we know and love
@@E44ghCr4p It can be very far away from the average egg, that wouldn't make it an outlier. An outlier is a data point that is far away from other data points, and you really can't say that about chicken eggs.
