Which came first - the egg or chicken ? "The Egg" came first - in the sentence of the question. If the question is phrased differently, the answer is different.

The Egg came first. There was a creature that was very, very similar to a chicken, but not quite a chicken, who mated with another not-quite-a-chicken. Then laid an egg, and out popped a chicken. This happened more and more and the old animals became chickens. So the egg came first.

The egg definitely came first, no question. At some point in evolution, something that wasn't quite yet a chicken laid an egg and out of that egg came the first chicken. That's the only way it could have occurred. It's really not that difficult of a question once you think about it.

I am a truck driver that hauls eggs from the farms for a living.I can safely tell you that this whole question was devised to drive some poor shmuck crazy.It cannot be answered by anyone but god.On a guesws I would say the chicken because the egg would have to hatch into a chick,and some animal would have to have the instincts to care for that chick.I vote that the chicken was created first.

Answer will have to look into the evolution process.
If you go down the egg route, then you could be correct because eggs were produced before chickens as we know them were on the planet.
However the animals that emerged from the eggs of long ago evolved into what we know today as chickens

Seriously? Well neither really. Chickens kind of evolved, like all birds, from reptiles. So I suppose at some point there was a "repken" and then one day it laid an egg and out came a chicken. Maybe the egg then.

If u go with the Darwinian theory of evolution, it would be egg because the egg of some brontosaurus or potato or something must have been mutated in order to form the egg of a chicken (either that or the previous species migrated to a different climate and adapted to it).

The only way you can come to any conclusion to this question is to take a religious perspective. When God created the animals, he created them as adult creatures. Therefore, the chicken came before the egg. If you do not believe that God created the animals, I guess you're screwed because otherwise there is no possible way to answer the question.

The CHICKEN
(God doesn't LAY EGGS!)
It would stand to reason that THE CHICKEN came first since the egg would first have to be produced, incubated, and cared for to come FULL TERM before hatching.
But you must also understand, THE CHICKEN wasn't always the creature it is today!

The first was the egg. That egg was laid by an earlier form of chicken, an ancester, and somewhere in the formation of the egg there was an evolution that caused the hachling to be superior to his mother by becoming the chicken as we know it.
