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

The chicken because God created all of the animals first.  The egg came shortly after. :D

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

From the bible,especially the book of Genesis which talks about creation, We have not been told that God created an egg but all birds and from there it is the bird that layed the egg therefore, it is the chicken which came first and we cannot doubt that.

God created the chicken then the chicken had an egg.

The chicken because the chicken was brought to earth by god then they mating and then came the egg. and you also said chicken first so i had to be the chicken\n\n~~KATE~~

For #2:\nFor the question, which came first, the chicken (hen) or the egg, the answer is obviously the egg! There were eggs of other species before there were chicken eggs. The first animal that we would today consider a chicken hatched from an egg that was laid by, and created by the breeding of two animals that were not quite what we would consider a chicken today. It's simply evolution, my friend.\n\nAs for #1, asexual reproduction existed before sexual reproduction, but the distinction between male and female must have come about together, otherwise how could there be more reproduction after that?\n\nFor #3, I'm assuming you mean human (homo sapiens) parents and a human (homo sapiens) baby. The first of our species, homo sapiens, must have been born to two parents who were not quite homo sapiens, but were similar to homo sapiens. Therefore, the first human would have been a baby (son or daughter). Again, simply evolution!

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!

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

THE EGG. the chicken had to hatch from something. and the egg came from whatever bird was clucking around before the first chicken. see how simple that was? :)

The EGG... Reptiles came first, then birds, then mammals.... And reptiles LAY eggs!! Therefore the EGG came before the birds (in this case the chicken).

Most would say the chicken, which is NOT true;\n\n"The egg! The amniotic egg (though not a chicken egg) was around on earth thousands of years before the chicken ever evolved."\n\nEggs existed long before chickens, according to On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen by Harold McGee. These all-in-one reproductive cells, incorporating the nutrients to support life, evolved about a billion years ago. The first eggs were hatched in the ocean. As animal life emerged from the water about 250 million years ago, they began producing an egg with a tough leathery skin to prevent dehydration of its contents on dry land. The chicken evolved only about 5,000 years ago from an Asian bird.\n\nWhat makes a chicken "more evolved" than a fly?  Is it because a chicken is bigger than a fly?  Both flies and chickens have had the same amount of time to evolve to their present state.  The ancestors of chickens and flies split\noff from their common ancestor a long time ago, but both have continued to evolve since then.

the chicken came first as each animal came first and then their children if not than who came first  an adult human being or a child , an adult reptile or a child reptile , a bird or an egg?

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!

actually, the egg came first. if the egg didn't come,then u would have no chicken.but that's what i think.
