There was an article about this in the news recently. Some scientists decided that it was the egg. The reason is that genetic changes that define species tend to happen in the sex organs of the parent. So an animal which is similar to a chicken (but not a chicken) had a gamete that mutated, and after fertilization, it gave rise to the first egg, and then the first true chicken.

Actually, this question is more anthropological than evolutionary, since the chicken (Gallus domesticus) didn't exist until its domestication around 2000 BC in Indochina. The first chicken came from the first chicken egg, which was laid by a red junglefowl (Gallus gallus). Whether you argue creation or evolution, the fact that humanity predates and is responsible for the speciation of chickens from red junglefowl should lay the "chicken or the egg" question to rest. From an evolutionary perspective, this answer holds for all species: the first member(s) of any species were the offspring of another very similar species, i.e. evolution argues that the egg always comes first. From a creationist perspective, this answer is anomalous, since all species that predate humanity originated as adults around 4004 BCE, i.e. creationism argues that the red junglefowl came before the red junglefowl egg.

The first chicken in history would have hatched from a non chicken egg. (this egg would be of the type belonging to an ancestor of the chicken but not a chicken itself) Therefore the first chicken would be the one to lay the first chicken egg.
The logic here is really quite simple.

Ok my friend...everbody will say either...So I'll answer this with 3 questions. If the chicken came first, did it hatch from an egg? And if the egg came first did it come from a chicken? So the bigger question is where did the rooster come from? Hmmmmmmmmmm?

the egg came first
"Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life.
Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg."

A bird which lay an egg and a chicken(genetically changed form of the bird which layed the egg) came from the egg.

it would have to be the chicken cause if it was the egg there would be no chicken to incubaite the egg and the chicken in the egg would die. plus an egg will not hatch if it is not pollenaited or what ever that word is. you know what i mean
