The Origins of Chicken Eggs

When did people start eating chicken eggs regularly rather than the whole variety of wild bird eggs they might have enjoyed before? It really depends where you are. In England when the chicken arrived its eggs took over pretty quickly and chicken eggs came to England with the Romans. Julia studied a 2000 year old Roman amphitheater in the west of England for clues. And at Chester Amphitheater we found lots and lots of eggshell underneath the seating banksWhere people would have sat to watch the events going on within it. This shows that these were eggs being used as eggs 20,000 years ago.
