both. if you didn't have the chicken, how do you get the egg?

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.

if u believe in evolution...then the egg...because it came from something that resembled a chicken but then transformed into a chicken\nif you believe in creation (such as myself) then the chicken...cause God made the chicken on that certain day!

who come first chicken or egg ? ^_^

Putting arguments of a religious nature to one side... Darwinian evolution would say that that which we call a chicken (due to its unique genetic code) would have come from an egg laid by an animal almost a chicken but genetically slightly different. The theory being that a random genetic variation in the DNA of the offspring made it differ from its parent enough to be a different spicies, ie the first chicken. If this is the case, and science supports the theory, then we have a choice to answer your question. We can say that the first chicken egg was laid by a non chicken (the egg came first) or the first chicken came from a non chicken egg (the chicken came first).

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

i get what youre saying. kind of like "what came first? the chicken or the egg??" obviously there had to of been a chicken to make the egg. so adam and eve came first in my opinion. it makes perfect sense\n\nmany will not understand that and will never want to. so dont get upset if they badmouth your question.

(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.

Well, if we're going by the Theory of Evolution, the egg.  As the chicken's ancestors were slowly evolving to the current form of chicken, the last one who's DNA was  99.9999999999999999999% similar to the modern chicken layed an egg which contained 100% chicken.  So, the egg came first.

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

chicken came first!!\nPS:chicken comes in a dictionary before egg

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...

Between Religion and Science, i believe that the CHICKEN came first. In relation to Religion, God created all the animals, including the chicken, for a specific purpose. Reproducing another kind of them, which in chickens, they lay eggs. In Science, we all knew in the theory of evolution, that all living things came from single celled animals, but evolved to multiple-celled animals eventually. But, it doesnt mean that being a single celled animal makes you an EGG because its already an animal, only one celled. So the answer is probably the CHICKEN.

deffo the chicken, a genetic mutation from an earlier egg laying species will have created the first chicken and that animal will have passed on the genes.\nexactly the same way we were created!\nbut then again the chicken would have been inside the egg so the answer is both!

The egg must have come first.\nLiving things evolve through changes in their DNA. The chicken evolved from the non-chicken through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote. Prior to that first true chicken zygote, there were only non-chickens.\nSo the egg came first.
