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.

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.

The Chicken/hen came first.\n\nGenesis 1:20  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.

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

Eggs.  Fish lay 'em, and fish evolved before chickens.

If you believe that God created animals from scratch from the dust of the earth, then the chicken came first.  If you believe in evolution and the mutation of species over time, the egg came first.

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.

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. Dinosaurs were laying eggs way before there were chickens!

Which came first - the chicken or the egg? \n\n"The chicken" came first - in the sentence of the question. \n\nIf the question is phrased differently, the answer is different

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!

the egg, because before hens existed there were proto-hens that laid eggs as well. One day one of those proto-hens evolved and the first hen was born.

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

Just depends on what you believe in.  If you believe in Adam and Eve then you believe the hen probably came first.  The bible states that god created everything in 7 days.  \n\nIf you believe in the egg first you believe in evolution.  The egg was probably a mutated form of a dinosaur.  The creature probably didnt look much like a bird, but over millions of years the thing evolved into a chicken
