I feel I must tell you about my father and his brown eggs:\n\nAfter my father died in Ireland, we were having a wake among the family.  Each told their favourite story about my father and although a sad time, we felt happy at the memories.  Suddenly my mother began to laugh as if in hysterics.  'What's the matter Mam' we asked.  She came out with the following: 'You know, your father and I were married nearly fifty years and in all that time he would never eat a white egg.  He insisted that they be brown. Well, I'll tell you something, he never had a brown egg in his life, I used to boil the cheaper white ones in tea that made them brown!'.

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.

Chickens evolved from non-chickens through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote. These changes and mutations only have an effect at the point where a new zygote is created. That is, two non-chickens mated and the DNA in their new zygote contained the mutation(s) that produced the first true chicken. That one zygote cell divided to produce the first true chicken. \n\nPrior to that first true chicken zygote, there were only non-chickens. The zygote cell is the only place where DNA mutations could produce a new animal, and the zygote cell is housed in the chicken's egg. So, the egg must have come first. \n\nSo it is Egg technically. (But that Egg is not a chicken egg) \nbut in ur question if the Egg is "chicken egg" then obviously then it is Chicken.\n\nWant more answers refer the link below u can find some funny answers also\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_chicken_or_the_egg

Scientifically speaking, the egg must have come first because there was a non-chicken animal that evolved into a chicken, and the only way for that non-chicken animal to have evolved into a chicken is if there was a mutation during meiosis (reproduction). So the non-chicken animal would have laid an egg which became a chicken.

What came first, the chicken or the egg.

You can still have eggs without them being fertilized. Chickens or people.You know that little white speck you sometimes see in chicken eggs?(Raw ones)That's an egg that has been fertilized.

nutrionally, there is no difference.  There are different breeds of chickens (just like there are different breeds of dogs) and they lay different color eggs based on natural pigments in the chicken's body.  There are even blue and green chicken eggs.\nMost commercial egg laying chickens are White Leghorn (laying white eggs) and the Rhode Island Red or the New Hampshire chickens (laying brown eggs).\nThey all taste the same, but the white ones are easier to color at Easter!

A few facts. Eggs that are on the market are not fertilized. Eggs that have been refrigerated will not hatch.(those from the store)\n\nIf you can get fertilized eggs, keep them warm.Chicks require a high temperature also.  Although there should be a 50 : 50 ratio of male to female, males are weeded out of the mix very early. Those are the ones that are available for Easter chicks. Chickens eat their weight every day. \n\nI do not know what you have available, but you could make a hypothesis regarding the color of the eggs and the color of the chicks.

(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 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.

nothing, its just that its hatched by different kinds of chickens. that is it.thanks for the points!

actually, the egg came first. if the egg didn't come,then u would have no chicken.but that's what i think.

It depends on the breed of course, but in Europe there commonly exists the Red Robin, which has white eggs with brown specks on it.\n\nVOTE FOR BIG LINH HE NEEDS POINTS :P

The egg.\nBefore chickens evloved into chickens, they were some other species that laid egss.\nOf course, if you are a creationist, you'll dispute that.

its difficult to answer ques.... but i feel...\n\ndefinitely the hen.....where does the egg come from?? god had created the hen first , then these hen lay the eggs...likewise  he created adam and eve directly on to earth like he created the hen....

I think the chicken evolved from something else (or God created the chicken), and the chicken was made to then reproduce. And then from the reproduction came the egg. Because you see, a egg can come from a chicken, but an egg cannot be created without a chicken. A chicken can evolve from other animals, but it cannot come from an egg originally.

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!
