I'm not sure, but I know how much a wood chuck would chuck if a wood chuck was Chuck Norris.

A wood chuck would chuck as much wood as a wood chuck could chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood.
The egg is a single cell. Single cells must exist to multiply into multiple cells. Single celled organisms were here first before chickens and therefore were essentially the eggs of everything that became a complex, multi-celled organism through multiple cell divisions called Mitosis. Look it up. Egg first of course.

The chicken and egg question came up on the news a few weeks ago. The egg was first. There had to be a mutation somewhere along the line from another species in the evolutionary chain. Since the bird contains the same genetic material as the egg from which it was hatched, this means the egg must have been a mutation laid by a different species. It was therefore unique, ie first.

I'm an Engineering Science student and I salute to jimmybrucehiggins' answer.
I never considered Mitosis before when hearing that question.
But there is a flaw in jimmybrucehiggins' answer. We should be clear about the definition of an egg. An egg is an ovum; which is a gamete with only half the number of the chromosomes of a complete diploid cell (see Meiosis). The egg needs to be fertilized by another gamete before Mitosis can happen. This requires a rooster.
So I like jimmybrucehiggins' answer but somewhere near the beginning, there should be a chicken.

a wood chuck would chuck as much wood as a wood chuck could if a wood chuck could chuck wood!
the chicken came first because it is an adapted form of another animal that evolved into today's chicken.
