Mark Dionne, in an email, asks an excellent question:
We were eating a chicken tonite, and wondering where the ovaries were. I speculated that one ought to sometimes find an egg inside a chicken one was eating, if the chicken were slaughtered just before it was ready to lay one.
The Web being the Web, Mark found his answer here.

In Japan, we eat the ovaries/eggs. They are grilled on a skewer and are called chochin (lantern).
I've never before seen or heard of this recipe, but I've checked it out and will be making it very soon. I'll be going the egg ball recipe route as opposed to the "freshly slaughtered chicken ovaries" because I live in a large city where fresh chicken ovaries are scarce...um,..yeah, mighty scarce.

I can't stand eggs or ovaries. They put me in mind of sex.
