"It is better to have a hen tomorrow than an egg today."

I got chinese food and it was it was in my fortune cookie....

It means the ganja in Chinatown is hella good.

Either it means if you have the hen you can have it lay eggs everyday or someone in a fortune factory is bored and wants to make you wonder.

I think it means that one egg not fertilized is no good. That if it was fertilized it would take the natural processing time to hatch and then the chicken would have to mature before it could reproduce further eggs. There is also the possibility that the fertilized egg my produce something other than a hen and/or a rooster. Therefore, it is better to have a fully mature chicken on the second day that is capable of reproduction. It's a sure thing.

This could also be looked at another way. One egg is a small portion to consume so if you had the choice between one egg today or a hen tomorrow then you are more likely to go without the egg for a day to get the large portion of protein the following day.

It addressed what holds more value.

When I read it I felt it's about having patience. getting a egg today you cook and eat it and it's done, but if you wait tomorrow for a hen you will be able to get more eggs in the future if u have a little patience...

So in other words, "Good things come to those who wait."

[Ms. Squirrel 11]

You should buy a chicken.

I think what this is trying to say is that do not simply have a child today because you can have it. Better to have your loved ones exist tomorrow.

So, take care of your future before anything else.

It means you shouldn't abort embryo's by consumption.

Why buy the chicken when you can get her to lay for free?

Kind of like, give a guy a fish, feed him for a day, teach him how to fish, feed him for life.

Eat that egg today, nothing for tomorrow, with a hen, can eat an egg almost everyday, until she dies, than can eat her, then starve to death. Better also get a rooster with that hen.
