The oldest recorded reference to the childish conundrum goes back to a collection of essays and discussions by the Greek historian Mestrius Plutarchus, born in 46AD. In a section entitled Whether the Hen or the Egg Came First he suggested that the question was already well established: “The problem about the egg and the hen, which of them came first, was dragged into our talk.”
The panel was unanimous on the correct chicken/egg pecking order. John Brookfield, an evolutionary geneticist at the University of Nottingham said the solution involves piecing together the speciation event in which chickens first evolved.

Technically the hen came first. Although it didn't start out as the hen that we have come to know today. When life first started out as protozoic matter it started joining together to create simple celled orgamisms. These then over time developed in larger creatures which slowly evolved into what we would class as a chicken today. Therefore when the creature was finally named as a chicken... it is only natural that it would then produce offspring or... chicks... which come from eggs.

An egg layed by a creature who is not quite a hen, but close.

The Egg. Because it came for the breakfast and the hen for the dinner. ;-)

The hen came first because the egg would have required the heat from incubation and I highly doubt God came down here and did the sitting himself.

The egg. Eggs were around long before hens. Birds evolved form dinosaurs and dinosaurs laid eggs!.
