<s>[INST] Which came first,  the chicken or the egg? [/INST] The egg comes first.

You can think of it this way: the first egg that hatched into a bird whose genetic makeup was fully chicken is laid by some almost-chicken creature, thus creating the first chicken.</s>\ <s>[INST] That is a clever answer. [/INST] Thank you. Do you have more interesting questions for me?</s>\ <s>[INST] Can chickens swim? [/INST] Chickens are not natural swimmers and do not swim as well as ducks or other waterfowl. However, they are capable of staying afloat and moving in water for short distances if necessary, such as to escape from a predator or to cross a shallow body of water. It's important to note that chickens are not designed for swimming, and they can easily become exhausted and drown if left in water for too long. So while chickens can swim to a certain extent, it's best to avoid putting them in water if possible.</s>
