Eggactly why did God create chickens?

Interesting fact.  God did NOT create chickens!  They are a human creation.  A hybrid of 2 other types of birds.  They wanted to be able to combine the tastiness of one bird with the domesticability of another, and voila, they got a chicken.

From the bible,especially the book of Genesis which talks about creation, We have not been told that God created an egg but all birds and from there it is the bird that layed the egg therefore, it is the chicken which came first and we cannot doubt that.

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.

If you are a creationist, like me, the chicken probably came first.\nIf you believe in evolution, then by that theory the egg would have come first.

The question that has perplexed us for multiple postings.\n\nThe egg came first, The first chicken came from an egg from something that was not quite a chicken.  Please see this handy movie for more details:

Biblically it would be the chicken as created by God, then it layed eggs...  If you  dont believe in God...  Well... your guess is as good as mine.

What came first, the chicken or the egg.

In the beginning God created the animals fully grown, in order to procreate. Just like he created Adam and Eve fully grown. So therefore the chicken came before the egg.

God created the hen first in the days of Adam..............\nThen the hen laid the egg.

Definately the chicken. It is my belief that God created a mature universe. Adam was not created as a little boy nor was Eve created a little girl. Thus it is my belief that the chicken came before the egg.

The chicken because God didn't create Adam as a tiny baby, but He created him as a full grown man.

Because not all apes turned into humans so some apes remained to keep reproducing. And just a question for the other answerers: If god created everything, surely he could have not created himself bringing up my point: Who created god, but then who created the thing, that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,.... that created god?

FINALLY, someone who sees it from the words of the Bible! God created all things, thus the CHICKEN came first, it's simple logic. Thanks, now I don't feel so alone in this opinion.

well the only reason the chicken needed eggs was because he stole them from the cow, and the cow saw him taking the eggs and the chicken needed to her new ones. The cow crossed the road beacause she needed to make sure the chicken got her the right type of eggs.

well, the first "chicken" would have represented a deviation from a species of wild hen in Southeast Asia bred to domestication (according to the research of paleolinguists tracing the first appearence of written reference to domestic chickens).  It's difficult to say when a domestication of a species reaches the point of speciation, but from the biological definition of speciation, it would be the point where the new breed is rendered incapable of procreating with its antecedent.\n\nRegardless, whatever bird may have been dubbed the "first chicken," it was certainly an egg before it was a chicken, and since it's the first chicken, its parents were not quite speciated and hence still only a mutated strain of hen.  So, the egg came first.\n\nAnd for all of you ardent creationists, domestic animals are the result of selective breeding by humans, so no, God did not create the chicken, no more than he created the domestic cow or cat or dog.  They are derivatives of naturally-ocurring species, but they have been bred by humans to the point where they are, at least in some cases, not capable of reproducing with their wild ancestors.  \n\nSo you can't just blurt out "God" and get away with not using your mind this time.

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