Neither is a chicken.

Chicken temperature is 108F. The normal condition of an egg in nature
is to be inside or underneath a chicken for 21 days. If you want
fertilized eggs to hatch in an incubator you keep it at about 100
degrees F. If the conditions inside an egg were such that toxins
sufficient to cause food poisoning developed in 24 hours at chicken
temperature then the chicken would long since have become extinct.
