What came first the chicken \nor the egg?

THE EGG. the chicken had to hatch from something. and the egg came from whatever bird was clucking around before the first chicken. see how simple that was? :)

The egg.  Dinosaurs were laying eggs far before chickens had evolved, so the egg had to've come first.  :)

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!

There is an obvious answer: the egg. All birds evolved from avian (flying) dinosaurs. They laid eggs. The egg came first (although not necessarily the chicken egg).

None of the two. First it was the rooster then the chicken and the the egg!!!!!!

Which came first - the chicken or the egg? \n\n"The chicken" came first - in the sentence of the question. If the question is phrased differently, the answer is different.\n\n!

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.

The chicken had to of come first. The chicken is what god created. If the egg came first then there would be no way for it to survive alone. Just like the questio n "What came first, the child or the parent?" Adam and Eve were the first 2 people on earth, they had the first baby. So it has been said. I don't know what you believe... but the answer is the CHICKEN.

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!

Evolutionary theory seems to point toward the egg being first. All animals on earth mutated and evolved from the first life forms. It's likely that the first chicken as we know it today hatched after eons of genetic mutations and changes.

The first chicken was hatched from an egg of something that was not quite a chicken. That's evolution :-)

(681 times and counting)\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=ArqSG_s0jG4ok1r1mx8sEIIjzKIX?p=chicken+or+the+egg\n\nHere's my answer, cut and paste from my answer to the same question asked the other day:\n\nThere 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.

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

The egg came first, because before there were any chickens at all, there was the species that mutated/evolved into the chicken (some sort of dinosaur, no doubt). That species was invariably an egg laying creature, and therefore, there were eggs long before there were chickens.

Chicken (Gallus domesticus) didn't exist until its domestication around 2000 BC in Indochina. The first chicken came from the first chicken egg, which was laid by a red junglefowl (Gallus gallus). Whether you argue creation or evolution, the fact that humanity predates and is responsible for the speciation of chickens from red junglefowl should lay the "chicken or the egg" question to rest. \n\nFrom an evolutionary perspective, this answer holds for all species: the first member(s) of any species were the offspring of another very similar species, i.e. evolution argues that the egg always comes first. \n\nFrom a creationist perspective, this answer is anomalous, since all species that predate humanity originated as adults around 4004 BCE, i.e. creationism argues that the red junglefowl came before the red junglefowl egg.\n\nHowever, here is also an intersting analysis: Scientists think the first domestic chickens were bred from Red Jungle Fowls more than 8,000 years ago in the region now divided into Thailand and Vietnam. People bred chickens first for cockfighting contests, later for eggs and meat.\n\nSo the first official "chicken" pecked its way out of an egg laid by a bird that was not-quite-a-chicken. Depending on how you look at it, the egg--or the wild chicken--came first.\n\nIn creating the domestic chicken--and coming up with some 175 varieties--human beings also created a world where chickens rule the roost: There are more chickens than any other kind of domesticated bird on Earth.\n\nAnd where did birds come from? Scientists think that a group of egg-laying feathered dinosaurs were probably the ancestors of today's birds. So if it weren't for dinosaurs, there wouldn't be any Jungle Fowl OR chickens.\n\nWe've solved the riddle of where chickens came from. But there's still the question of where eggs came from.\n\nScientists say eggs--handy miniature incubators of life, nutrients already packed inside--evolved more than 1 billion years ago, in the oceans of Earth. When land animals evolved about 250 million years ago, their eggs had a tough covering to retain moisture on dry land. Egg-layers like amphibians, reptiles, and insects flourished. The first "land eggs" pre-dated chickens by about 249,992,000 years.\n\nSo "the egg" may be one answer to the old riddle, but here's another, if a little longer: The chicken came after the bird, the bird came after the dinosaur, the dinosaur came after the egg. And the egg came long after the first single-celled bacteria, the prokaryotes, evolved in the oceans, some 3.5 billion years ago. Ha!
