Unless a fully formed chicken (however young) materialized out of nowhere it had to be that the egg came first.

Eggs don't materialize out of nothing either so the egg that became the first chicken was laid by a non-chicken. Allowing for the speed of evolution it may have taken a long time for non-chicken creatures to get to the stage where one of their eggs produced what we would accept as being a chicken but that's not the point in question.

If there was a time when there were no chickens and, clearly, there are plenty of them now, then there was a precise moment when number one chicken appeared on the scene. This is the case however you define a chicken - a stage must be reached when a creature arrives that fulfills ALL the criteria for being a chicken.

That moment occurred in the only place it could occur, at the developmental stage of chicken-ness, in the egg.

i believe the egg came first. i dont think chickens were around billions n billions of years ago. n besides, dinosaurs laid eggs way before the chicken first came around. this question has been around for ages..trick question. but question doesnt ask whether the chicken came first or the chicken egg.
