The Egg! Yes, something laid the egg, but it wasn't a chicken. It was a dinosaur of sorts and the chicken evolved into what it is.

In nature, living things evolve through changes in their DNA. In an animal like a chicken, DNA from a male sperm cell and a female ovum meet and combine to form a zygote -- the first cell of a new baby chicken. This first cell divides innumerable times to form all of the cells of the complete animal. In any animal, every cell contains exactly the same DNA, and that DNA comes from the zygote.
Chickens evolved from non-chickens through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote. These changes and mutations only have an effect at the point where a new zygote is created. That is, two non-chickens mated and the DNA in their new zygote contained the mutation(s) that produced the first true chicken. That one zygote cell divided to produce the first true chicken.
Prior to that first true chicken zygote, there were only non-chickens. The zygote cell is the only place where DNA mutations could produce a new animal, and the zygote cell is housed in the chicken's egg. So, the egg must have come first.

The Chicken. In the Bible, if you look at Genesis 1:20-22, you will find that God made chickens first.

The chicken and I can prove it. If the egg came first, what was sitting on it to keep it warm and make it hatch????

the egg. Many other animals besides chickens lay eggs, so they had to have come first
