I wouldn't think that a chick is just what's in an egg...

It's a baby animal PLUS a yolk sac. They just use the rest of their yolk sac as nourishment.

It has a heart full of taurine, it has muscles, it has a liver which is full of vitamin A and vitamin D, its skin is full of vitamin D, brain full of nutrients... And then it has a yolk sac which it's still absorbing.

I'm not really sure what you mean when you say a chicken is just "what's in an egg". When you say that, I just think of that if you'd crack a baby chick open, egg yolk and white would pop out, haha.

I'd have to think there's more nutrients to their various body parts and innards and not just what an egg offers.
