Which came first, the chicken?

The soup.  The chicken evolved from DNA soup.

FINALLY, someone who sees it from the words of the Bible! God created all things, thus the CHICKEN came first, it's simple logic. Thanks, now I don't feel so alone in this opinion.

What came first, the chicken or the egg.

Well in creation "the chicken".

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.

Apparently the chicken came first.  Then the eggs.  According to Genesis anyway.

The chick is hatched before it becomes a hen, just as a person is a baby before he or she is an adult. I wonder if you meant to ask "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" I believe the chicken came first because it was created by God.

well, the first "chicken" would have represented a deviation from a species of wild hen in Southeast Asia bred to domestication (according to the research of paleolinguists tracing the first appearence of written reference to domestic chickens).  It's difficult to say when a domestication of a species reaches the point of speciation, but from the biological definition of speciation, it would be the point where the new breed is rendered incapable of procreating with its antecedent.\n\nRegardless, whatever bird may have been dubbed the "first chicken," it was certainly an egg before it was a chicken, and since it's the first chicken, its parents were not quite speciated and hence still only a mutated strain of hen.  So, the egg came first.\n\nAnd for all of you ardent creationists, domestic animals are the result of selective breeding by humans, so no, God did not create the chicken, no more than he created the domestic cow or cat or dog.  They are derivatives of naturally-ocurring species, but they have been bred by humans to the point where they are, at least in some cases, not capable of reproducing with their wild ancestors.  \n\nSo you can't just blurt out "God" and get away with not using your mind this time.

The Egg.\n\nDinosaurs came before the chicken, methinks.

chicken\nBecause God put them on the ark first.

God made chicken\n\nchicken had egg

Chickens pre-date roads.\nThus we can assume that there were no roads to cross for the first chicken (which evolved from a slightly different species) hen it laid the first 'chicken' egg\n\non a side note why are there so many chicken road crossing jokes when I never see a chicken on the road...lol Oh I get it =)

its the chicken which came first\n\negg is the method of reproduction\n\nnow u may say "From where did the chicken come?"\n\nits the course of evolution\n\nfinally\nchicken came first\nand found a method of reprodution\nthat is the EGG

The Chicken - \n\nWhen God created the animals he gave them the ability to go out and mulitply of their own kind.  He didn't just make eggs - he made the actual animal.

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).

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.

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!
