Do a freshly laid egg and a freshly hatched chick have the same number of calories? If not, where do the extra calories come from?

If the chick has more calories, it must be getting the extra energy from somewhere...?

No, the egg would have more calories. The egg has all of the materials, including energy, needed to form the chick. The process of forming the chick involves chemical reactions that are driven forward by the use of the stored energy. The process is not 100% efficient and the energy lost escapes from the egg as heat. On top of that the chick moves in the egg, it's heart beats, it's nerves fire, all of which use calories, which is lost in the end as heat.
