The chicken.
Genesis 1:20 -- And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

Well, I've copied the Bible, the New International Version, with looseleaf paper and ballpoint pen, and I'm still stumped by your question. Maybe it's the length of time it took to do the copying (7 & 3/4 years) that makes it hard to remember where that answer is. Maybe now that I'm copying two very orthodox Roman Catholic Bibles I'll have the answer some time. But I'm only at Proverbs 15:14 on them as I copy them simultaneously, and it's been 11 years since I began that project, and I still couldn't tell you your answer. Oh well. Will your ten extra points be good within the next 15 or so years it will take me to do this? I'm going a lot slower this time. More prayerfully than just copying words. If I ever find the answer, I'll try to tell you the answer. Have fun, and God Bless you.

Genesis: 20 And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
The egg has to be kept warm by the chicken, therefore, the chicken came first.

The Chicken came first! God created chickens before they could hatch any eggs!--Genesis chapter 1.

Genesis 1:20-21. And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

In Genisis when God created the animals he created the chicken first. Just like Adam he created a man not a baby.

The egg, the chicken wouldn't have had a past life. With an egg, its a new life with no previous memories.
