It depends. The first chicken evolved by random mutation or breeding from something that was not-quite-yet a chicken, right? A 'pre-chicken' if you like. Therefore it came out of a pre-chicken's egg.
So if your question is 'what came first - a chicken's egg or a chicken', then the answer is: the chicken, since it didn't come out of a chicken's egg, it came out of a pre-chicken's egg.
However, if your question is: what came first - any-kind-of-egg or the chicken, then the answer must be the egg, since no doubt many kinds of egg were around before what we recognise as the chicken (or even the pre-chicken) evolved.
Now, if you don't buy into the whole evolution thing we're gonna have a problem. I guess if the Lord created everything smash bang wallop in seven days then it must be the chicken, since surely He wouldn't have laid an egg?

I have, assume you too, come across this question many times. When this question is asked, people always mention first the chicken then the egg, never heard the other way. In a way, do you find that the question has the answer on its own? I guess so.

The Egg, Dinosaurs had eggs 65 million years before chickens even existed!

The chicken - God created the earth and all the animals - hence, the first chicken did not come out of an egg

The chicken came before the egg.
Who would have been there to keep the egg warm.

the answer is 2 chickens, male and female. because technically, a chicken by itself can't reproduce. and it can't be just an egg either, because the egg would eventually grow to be a chicken, and it would face the same problem again without the presence of another chicken.

i would say chicken, because in the bible it says god created animals it said nothin bout eggs. So God created all the animals he wanted (including the chicken) and then came the laying of the eggs and stuff, i dont think he made eggs, and things first and then a chick hatched from it, nope, so hope that answers your question.

The egg

i have pondered over this for a while and my explanion would have to be the egg, because what ever laid the egg would have been simular to the chicken but not quite, evolution changed what was inside of the egg making a chicken.
