Yes, I am aware that an egg is a baby chick, it's just what I heard, and I just wanted to be sure.


Answers:

I could see why someone might interpret it that way.

Eggs, the kind we eat, don't have a baby chick in them. So, basically, the inside of the egg are just the nutrients that would feed the chick if the egg had been fertilized.

A period, in the same way, is the shedding of the endometrium, once the unfertilized egg passes through. And if an egg is fertilized, the endometrium eventually becomes the placenta - and the placenta feeds the fetus, just like the inside of an egg would feed a baby chick.

So, I could see how you could make an analogy between the two - but there are a heck of a lot of differences between mammalian reproduction and aves (bird) reproduction, so beyond that superficial analogy, I don't think the comparison would hold much water.
