which came first chicken or egg?

Actually, first came the rooster and the chicken.  A chicken alone cannot lay fertilized eggs.  It takes fertilized eggs to have more chickens and roosters.\n\nIf the egg came first, it would have died.  There would have been no one to fertilize it, lay it, or hatch it.  If a lone chicken, by some miracle had hatched from said egg, there would have been no roosters to fertilize more eggs, thus no more chickens or eggs.\n\nIf it is true that such an egg existed, that needed no care, fertilization, or hatching, we are degenerating rather than progressing.  Our eggs are highly dependent in order to be of any use.

The chick is hatched before it becomes a hen, just as a person is a baby before he or she is an adult. I wonder if you meant to ask "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" I believe the chicken came first because it was created by God.

The chicken because God created all of the animals first.  The egg came shortly after. :D

Actually this has a real answer. According to the book "Random Kinds of Factness: 1001 (or so) Absolutely True Tidbits About (mostly) Everything" by Erin Barrett and Jack Mingo the egg came first.\n\nAccording to their research chickens evolved from early Indochina birds called red jungle fowl. Mutations in the jungle fowls eggs produced things more like chickens...these bred with other bird causing more mutations producing todays chicken.\n\nSo the eggs have it!

The egg came first.  At some time in the evolutionary development of the chicken as we know it, there was some previous creature that was not quite a chicken.  Let's call this a "proto-chicken".  In the ovary of the proto-chicken, which is always subject to some small amount of mutation, it carries all the genes that would make a proto-chicken, but it gets mutated to form what we think of as a chicken.  The egg is laid, and when it hatches, it will become a chicken.  Thus, the proto-chicken which laid the egg is not a chicken, but the egg will produce a chicken, so the egg came first.

1.  Dinosaurs laid eggs millions of years ago.\n2.  Chickens weren't around millions of years ago.\n3.  Therefore, eggs came first.\n4.  Later, egg-laying birds evolved into chickens.

The egg came first, from something that was close to, but not quite a chicken. What came out of the egg was a mutation, also known as the first chicken, or at least close to one. Since it was able to successfully breed, its mutated genes were passed on, and much later on, chickens were able to dominate, while their earlier ancestors became extinct...

There were eggs long before chickens.\n\nDinosaurs laid eggs, for example, and birds evolved from dinosaurs.\n\nGuess what, a chicken is a bird.\n\nWhatever bird chickens evolved from laid eggs, so wherever you draw the line in the sand and say "here was the first chicken", well, that chicken had a mother who laid the egg.\n\nEggs came before chickens.

The egg.  Chickens and in fact, all birds, evolved from dinosaurs - which laid eggs.

If you believe in the Bible, the chicken came first. "And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 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'." Genesis 1:19-20. Chickens are a type of fowl, so the Christian Bible says that chickens came first. \n\nIf you have a different religion, you might have a different belief about the how the treasures of the earth came to be. In the science of evolution, both chickens and eggs came before man. Since both the birds and the eggs were on earth first, historians weren't around to record which came first. \n\nWhichever answer you gave, it's okay. A chicken can't be born without a chicken egg and a chicken egg can't be laid without a chicken. Both chickens and eggs are important!

I solved this one a while ago.  I always want to look at the revolutionary stand point.   We look at the species of chicken. The revolutionary mutation that made the chicken a chicken came not from the other species that the mom was, but developed in the egg.  So the first chicken( chicken) came from an egg, and that egg came from some other species.  so the egg came first.

If you believe that God created animals from scratch from the dust of the earth, then the chicken came first.  If you believe in evolution and the mutation of species over time, the egg came first.

its the chicken which came first\n\negg is the method of reproduction\n\nnow u may say "From where did the chicken come?"\n\nits the course of evolution\n\nfinally\nchicken came first\nand found a method of reprodution\nthat is the EGG

Putting arguments of a religious nature to one side... Darwinian evolution would say that that which we call a chicken (due to its unique genetic code) would have come from an egg laid by an animal almost a chicken but genetically slightly different. The theory being that a random genetic variation in the DNA of the offspring made it differ from its parent enough to be a different spicies, ie the first chicken. If this is the case, and science supports the theory, then we have a choice to answer your question. We can say that the first chicken egg was laid by a non chicken (the egg came first) or the first chicken came from a non chicken egg (the chicken came first).
