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

If you are a creationist, like me, the chicken probably came first.\nIf you believe in evolution, then by that theory the egg would have come first.

Actually this has a real answer. According to the book "Random Kinds of Factness: 1001 (or so) Absolutely True Tidbits About (mostly) Everything" by Erin Barrett and Jack Mingo the egg came first.\n\nAccording to their research chickens evolved from early Indochina birds called red jungle fowl. Mutations in the jungle fowls eggs produced things more like chickens...these bred with other bird causing more mutations producing todays chicken.\n\nSo the eggs have it!

The chicken. The Bible tells God created all living animals and then provided for them to reproduce. So the egg was how they reproduced.

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

There 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, from something that was close to, but not quite a chicken. What came out of the egg was a mutation, also known as the first chicken, or at least close to one. Since it was able to successfully breed, its mutated genes were passed on, and much later on, chickens were able to dominate, while their earlier ancestors became extinct...

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).

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.

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
