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).

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

the hen came first because God made the animal and the animal layed the egg...that'a my theory :)

A big idiot came first and laid an egg and kept asking stupid question all his life. The egg turned into the chicken. No one remembers what happened after that - only that stupid question is still kept alive by its predecessors- who came first

The hen of course. Each species was sent in pair and then they multiplied. Imagine a mammal, it does not lay eggs, so it must have come as in its animal form first.

For #2:\nFor the question, which came first, the chicken (hen) or the egg, the answer is obviously the egg! There were eggs of other species before there were chicken eggs. The first animal that we would today consider a chicken hatched from an egg that was laid by, and created by the breeding of two animals that were not quite what we would consider a chicken today. It's simply evolution, my friend.\n\nAs for #1, asexual reproduction existed before sexual reproduction, but the distinction between male and female must have come about together, otherwise how could there be more reproduction after that?\n\nFor #3, I'm assuming you mean human (homo sapiens) parents and a human (homo sapiens) baby. The first of our species, homo sapiens, must have been born to two parents who were not quite homo sapiens, but were similar to homo sapiens. Therefore, the first human would have been a baby (son or daughter). Again, simply evolution!

egg then chick then hen.\nThe Hen that laid the egg which developed into the species we now call the domestic chicken was slightly different from our chicken. Hence the egg came first!\n\nJ

In evolutionary terms, a chicken was first hatched from an egg of a slightly different animal.  Therefore, the egg came first.
