It was not originally a joke. It was a philosophical question about why a chicken, who has no sort of inclination would choose(or involuntarily do so) to cross the road. It then became a joke, because people realized that philosophers were over thinking a simple question with a simple answer: to get to the other side. They had all made suggestions about circumstance and chains of events and whether or not the chicken actually chose to do so or if it was prewired to cross the road or something like that.

The egg, because the chicken couldn't decide why it was crossing the road.

Albert Einstein:      Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.\n\nAristotle:            To actualize its potential.\n\nJack Nicholson:      'Cause it (censored) wanted to. That's the (censored) reason.\n\nPyrrho the Skeptic:   What road?\n\nDarwin:               It was the logical next step after coming down from\n                      the trees.\n\nEmily Dickinson:      Because it could not stop for death.\n\nEpicurus:             For fun.\n\nRalph Waldo Emerson:  It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.\n\nWerner Heisenberg:    We are not sure which side of the road the chicken was on, but it was moving very fast.

I heard this joke earlier today.\nIt's a peridox, the chicken was made from the egg but the egg is needed to make the chicken.\nThe truth is, god made all the little chickens and birdies and all that good stuf and THEN the cycle began. The chicken came first.

A chicken does not know what a road is therefore there is no reason as to why.

i actually know the answer to this question..i remember reading it somewhere..i just forgot where..anyway...the answer is the chicken came first for two reasons (based on your beliefs):\n\n1. you believe in god creating everything..therefore he created the chicken\n\n2. you believe in natural selection and evolution, so the chicken evolved from some other animal

She was blonde and needed to ask for directions?\n\nShe was blonde and got lost?\n\nThe chicken decided the trip was too far too make?\n\nTo see what he could see?\n\nI just made these all up in my head.  Happy hunting.\nP.S.  Your joke sucked.  : )

In this scenario the Egg.  The chicken must have crossed the road to get away from the egg, because the egg came first and failed to satisfy the chicken.

the egg was first becuz of a strange cross breed\nbut the chicken could reproduce among them selves so they did and they prospered

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.
