A few years ago, a British geneticist, a philosopher and a chicken farmer pooled their resources and concluded that the egg came first.

Brookfield and Papineau were speaking at the behest of Disney as a promotion for the film Chicken Little.

Breeding/Reproduction: Lineolated parakeets breed easily but to find good parents, is a feat in itself. They usually lay four to 6 eggs. Incubation time is about 23 days, breeders recommend banding at 12 days of age.The young are usually weaned by 7 to 8 weeks of age.innies range in price from about $150 for the normal green to as high as $800 for the rare dilutes. Linnie breeders, like linnies, are rare and difficult to locate. Among more charming characteristics that distinguish the linnie is their love of hanging upside-down.
