The creationist: the chicken.\n\nThe evolutionist: the egg.\n\n(I come to that second answer like this: of course, in evolution chickens didn't just wake up one day and found that they existed, they formed slowly over generations. But if, at any point, you arbitrarily say 'this generation is the one that changed from proto-chicken into modern chicken', well those changes are the result of random mutations formed during the DNA coding process that takes place at conception... So the egg, then.

This question had been debated about for centuries! Why do you expect someone to give you a straightforward answer right now! It's not like everyone is going to agree on this!\n\nBut, if you believe in the bible here....\nAccording to 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 1:10-20\n\nAlso.... this website has the full debate so you choose what you believe\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/chicken_and...\n\nAlso....according to the dictionary the egg comes before the hen (alphabetical order)\n....according to safeway the chicken ( you see it before you see the eggs in the store)\n....according to McDonalds the egg (I's before the chicken on the menu)\n\nIt all depends on the way you look at things\nGood Luck!

the egg. it was formed by organisms and eventually hatched.\n\ni first thought, well, if the chicken came first, it had to come from and egg, but then that egg would have to come from the chicken, then that chicken had to had come from and egg, and so on and forth

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. Dinosaurs were laying eggs waaaay before the chicken came around!

The EGG... Reptiles came first, then birds, then mammals.... And reptiles LAY eggs!! Therefore the EGG came before the birds (in this case the chicken).

Eggs are traditionally eaten for breakfast, while chicken is more commonly eaten for lunch or dinner.\n\nSo the egg would come first, with the chicken making its appearance at a later meal.\n\nUnless you make a chicken omelet, in which case the egg and chicken come at the same time.

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

The egg. In general - eggs of various species- insects, dinosaurs, etc.  had been around LONG before chickens evolved.

People will keep asking this question... (677 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.

I've answered the exact same question before. The egg came first because there were dinosaur eggs before there were chickens. If you specifically mean chicken eggs, I'd say the chicken because:\nBible version: God made all the animals. He made 2 adult humans first so I guess he would have made the adult animals first too.\nEvolution version: Whatever the chicken was supposed to be evolved from, had an egg of it's own which came out as a chicken, only then were there chicken eggs because there hadn't been chickens to lay the eggs.

Chicken. There was some bird that was not a chicken which was the first to evolve into a chicken. Thus the first true chicken occured before any true chicken eggs appeared.

this question has been asked many times, not just throughout time but also many times just here on yahoo answers.  i say "egg"... for a thorough explanation you can look up my answers.\n\ni just find it very interesting that when asked in the "pets" forum, most people say something religious to support their claim that chickens came first, and on the "science" forum, more people say "egg" and support their claim with "science has proved...."\n\nmeh, science never really proves anything... but this one just requires a little thought about the true nature of the question.  it would be a little more difficult to answer if it was "which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg?"  but no one ever asks that question, so we're all safe.  whew.  :)
