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.

The egg I would say. Actually this simplification doesn't stand up. \nThe answer is neither and both. If you look at fossil records, eggs existed all of the way back and when did a chicken actually become a chicken? \nAsk yourself. Did a chicken become a chicken, when a dinosaur gained feathers or when it lost its teeth and grew a beak? and is that why most amphibians taste like chicken and lay eggs?

(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.

The chicken definitely came first when God created the animals and then the chicken layed the egg.\n\nOh, F.Y.I and P.S. to all you city dwellers:::\nChickens lay eggs whether there's a rooster present or not.\nHe hasn't got a thing to do with her egg production. His job is to FERTILIZE the egg before she lays it thereby creating a chick.

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!

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...

We don't actually know. If the chicken came first, an egg was needed to hatch into that chicken in the first place. If the egg came first, a chicken would be needed to hatch an egg. There is no definite answer (yet anyway).

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:

The Chicken.  the chicken was created by God's power.  The egg came second, from the first Chicken.

deffo the chicken, a genetic mutation from an earlier egg laying species will have created the first chicken and that animal will have passed on the genes.\nexactly the same way we were created!\nbut then again the chicken would have been inside the egg so the answer is both!

Most would say the chicken, which is NOT true;\n\n"The egg! The amniotic egg (though not a chicken egg) was around on earth thousands of years before the chicken ever evolved."\n\nEggs existed long before chickens, according to On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen by Harold McGee. These all-in-one reproductive cells, incorporating the nutrients to support life, evolved about a billion years ago. The first eggs were hatched in the ocean. As animal life emerged from the water about 250 million years ago, they began producing an egg with a tough leathery skin to prevent dehydration of its contents on dry land. The chicken evolved only about 5,000 years ago from an Asian bird.\n\nWhat makes a chicken "more evolved" than a fly?  Is it because a chicken is bigger than a fly?  Both flies and chickens have had the same amount of time to evolve to their present state.  The ancestors of chickens and flies split\noff from their common ancestor a long time ago, but both have continued to evolve since then.

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.

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? :)

All living things are created by God (or whatever higher power you believe in) so the chicken had to come first.  The egg is not alive yet.
