dinosaur egg... is this a real question?

The egg. Dinosaurs were laying eggs way before there were chickens!

Well, the chicken has evolved from a previous species. That species wasn't really a chicken, but it laid a mutated egg, which was a chicken. So, the egg came first.

Scientifically speaking, the egg must have come first because there was a non-chicken animal that evolved into a chicken, and the only way for that non-chicken animal to have evolved into a chicken is if there was a mutation during meiosis (reproduction). So the non-chicken animal would have laid an egg which became a chicken.

Egg, because dinosaurs laid eggs too, and I'm pretty sure there were no chickens around at that time.

The chicken. The Bible tells God created all living animals and then provided for them to reproduce. So the egg was how they reproduced.

according to the geographic history. we have lots of dinosaurs laying eggs on earth even before the chickens arrive and laye their own eggs. therefore eggs come first before chickens.. hehehe...

The EGG.\nDinosaurs were laying eggs long before chickens arrived on the scene.

well eggs are not born.  Born refers to the emergence of a new life from.  Now if you are asking which came first, then the egg did because dinosaurs and reptiles layed eggs long before bird came about.

A team made up of a geneticist, philosopher and chicken farmer claim to have found an answer. It was the egg.\n\nPut simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life.\n\nTherefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg.\n\nProfessor John Brookfield, a specialist in evolutionary genetics at the University of Nottingham, told the UK Press Association the pecking order was clear.\n\nThe living organism inside the eggshell would have had the same DNA as the chicken it would develop into, he said.\n\n"Therefore, the first living thing which we could say unequivocally was a member of the species would be this first egg," he added. "So, I would conclude that the egg came first."\n\nThe same conclusion was reached by his fellow "eggsperts" Professor David Papineau, of King's College London, and poultry farmer Charles Bourns.\n\nMr Papineau, an expert in the philosophy of science, agreed that the first chicken came from an egg and that proves there were chicken eggs before chickens.\n\nHe told PA people were mistaken if they argued that the mutant egg belonged to the "non-chicken" bird parents.\n\n"I would argue it is a chicken egg if it has a chicken in it," he said.\n\n"If a kangaroo laid an egg from which an ostrich hatched, that would surely be an ostrich egg, not a kangaroo egg."\n\nBourns, chairman of trade body Great British Chicken, said he was also firmly in the pro-egg camp.\n\nHe said: "Eggs were around long before the first chicken arrived. Of course, they may not have been chicken eggs as we see them today, but they were eggs."

The egg came first. Creatures evolved. There was once a chicken-dinosaur like creature, or maybe something like that, maybe not dinosaur, but whether it was from dinosaurs, or avians, or both, I can't remember... But there was something before the chicken, it had an egg, but there was a genetic mutation in the genes of the baby chick due to adaptation or just accident. Anyways, when the mutated chick hatched from the egg, the chicken as we know it came about.

egg then chick then hen.\nThe Hen that laid the egg which developed into the species we now call the domestic chicken was slightly different from our chicken. Hence the egg came first!\n\nJ

Which came first the chicken or the egg?\nThe egg is in the chicken and the chicken is in the egg.\nThey came as one.\n\nHeaven for one may well be Hell for another, and Hell for one may be Heaven for another.  Heaven and Hell make one Kingdom...\nThey came as one.\n\nYes and No...\nThey came as one.

if u believe in evolution...then the egg...because it came from something that resembled a chicken but then transformed into a chicken\nif you believe in creation (such as myself) then the chicken...cause God made the chicken on that certain day!

The egg, no doubt about it.\n\nA chicken is only a clever mean of transportation and reproduction used by and egg.\n\nYou see in early days when life was beginning - in a pond. The being called egg was like an amoeba - a jelly like thing. When earth started to solidify the ponds started to dry up. Now what this thing called egg would do? Either somehow survive the dry periods or die a miserable death. Obviously it did not choose to die so it did something very clever. It formed a shell around it to keep moisture and other content inside. And when pond would filled up with water this shell would dissolve and so on. Now dry periods started to get longer and longer. There therefore was no other option for the egg other than to be able to leave the pond and find a new one. So over the ages it hatched out a detailed plan that would enable it to move around and stay alive and dry as well. That plan eventually took a form that today we know as a chicken. \nMoral of the story: Eat the chicken but remember the egg and the difficulties it faced to get the meat to your wasteful dinner table.

The Egg.\n\nDinosaurs came before the chicken, methinks.

The Chicken/hen came first.\n\nGenesis 1:20  And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
