Without the hen, the egg would not exist.

The hen is a genetic mutation of another type animal. So hence first came an egg all be it not from a hen. Then the hen was born...and from that day forward hen were born from eggs of other hens.

The egg, dinosaurs laid eggs before there was ever a hen or chicken.
For those using the adam and eve thing....Dinosaurs, we have found the bones, they existed.
The chicken eventually showed up and used eggs, so the egg was first. The chicken egg came after the chicken but the egg was around long before the chicken.
I'm not saying there isn't a god that created chickens, maybe it just happened over a long period of time.

You've really found a question to which there seems to be no answer.
As the "egg" is part of a sexual way of reproduction, I think that in the course of evolution there was a sudden mutation from an animal which reproduced itself asexual to the first ancestor of the "hen", who afterwards laid the first "egg". Therefore the "hen" was before the "egg".

That is truly a tough question since the hen had to come from an egg, and the egg had to come from the hen.......Stymes the mind!

The evolutionary advance that set the reptiles apart from the amphibians was the development of the amniote or shelled egg which could be laid on land, freeing the reptiles from the necessity of returning to the water as adults for reproduction. The oldest known fossil egg was found in Texas, and dates to the lower Permian period of the earth's history, over 275 million years ago. It is not known from which particular group of Labrynthodont amphibians the reptiles developed; several different families of ancient amphibians seemed to have been developing characteristics at the time similar to those of reptiles.

Both the hen and the egg came first. That would be my answer to such a tricky question.

I'd have to say the hen, also. We can and will go round and round with this question forever. But, the egg had to "form", be incubated. And if you try to get any deeper into the subject, you'll end up in the "Religion and Spirituality" category.
