The egg. Chicken somehow evolved from reptiles who used to lay eggs as well. Chickens are just a genetic defect passed on that have survived the test of time. Of course that is just my opinion. This also happened over millions of years. A chicken didn't just hatch from a reptile.

Thinking of evolution, I think it was the egg. Think about it- organisms evolved into chickens ever-so-slowly. The organism that gave birth to the chicken egg wasn't actually a chicken. It was a genetic relative of the chicken. Therefore, it was the egg. Rather, the embryo inside of it.

The egg. Dinosaurs had eggs centuries before chickens lived.

The Bible says God Created the Birds (not the eggs) so of course the Chicken was first.

According to the theory of evolution, the egg. Plus, females cannot reproduce without eggs, and females were along before chickens. So, the egg.

Depends on your beliefs but I believe God created the chicken - then the chicken layed the egg.
