My Answer: The egg
1) The egg came first because any female sex cell is called an egg...
2) An animal that was not a chicken laid the chicken egg which contained the first chicken. In this case the egg came first..

To answer this question from a scientific point of view, the egg came first.
Eggs evolved long before chickens did. Dinosaurs, from which birds evolved, along with other organisms that are collectively called Amniota, also lay eggs, as do playtpuses and echidnas, which are a related group to mammals. So eggs long pre-date chickens, which are jungle fowl that were domesticated long after birds first evolved back in the dinosaur age.

The egg did. In order for an animal to mutate into the form that we commonly call a chicken, it would have had to have been born from an egg.
Therefore, the egg came first.

The egg. If you subscribe to evolution (let's not get into that can of worms, though), then somewhere, somewhen, a creature that was *not* a chicken (genetically speaking) laid an egg, and out of it came a creature that *was* a chicken.

I believe the chicken was probably one of the sets of animals that were brought on to Noah's ark.
