Which came first - the chicken or the egg? "The chicken" came first - in the sentence of the question. If the question is phrased differently, the answer is different.
Reframing the question
It could be said that the question simply requires one to know the context. Most people thinking of the question automatically think of the timeline and it is in this manner that both the previous evolutionary theory and religious teachings contexts arise. Other potential contexts are:
* Having looked through a dictionary from front to back, which came first? - the chicken or the egg?
* When you walked through the supermarket, which came first? - the chicken or the egg?
* When reading the menu, which came first? - the chicken or the egg?

At first I must say that it's not a Physics question!
Now the answer:
Biology theories tell us that all species improve in the passing time and chicken is always improving.
so the last version of chicken that we know, have had a little improvement in it's body when it was an egg cell. So when our chicken is born (inside an egg) it's the latest version of chicken.
So we see that the latest improvements in chickens' last generation is finished and stopped when an egg is completed so the egg is the first one of the new generation. (I mean it's mother is not a chicken anymore because a different kind of chicken has been made)
After million years it is like this:
an unknown species that chicken is originated from ==>improvements (in the egg cell times)==> a nowadays chicken egg==> nowadays chicken
If you want too understand it better remember differential & integration (calculus) in physics or mathematics problems.

Chicken... the first egg was a genetic mutation that caused the egg to surround the fetus. But if that were the case, then the animal delivering the egg was not a chicken yet, so the egg had to have come first...

I think the chicken came first. God created all the creatures of the earth. An egg can not make another egg, therefore it had to be the chicken....

All chickens come from eggs so I am going to say the egg is the only good answer.

The egg.The riddle never specifies that the egg in question is a chicken's egg.Thus it could be a fish egg,dinosaur egg,echidna egg,or human egg cell.Since the egg is unspecified,it could be a fish egg,which has existed much longer than chicken eggs.

Neither. The egg could not have come first because a chicken would have had to be there to lay it. The chicken couldn't have come first because it would have had to originate from nothingess. It becomes a paradox then the universe implodes.

It was the egg. Years ago, some animal laid a mutated egg, from which sprung the first chicken.

The chicken! Since it is provable by scientific methods that everything was created in a literal, six day creation as described in the Bible, the chicken had to of come first.
