Darwin says the egg. Something like a chicken laid an egg that hatched the first chicken.
The bible says the chicken. God created chickens that lay eggs.
Which you believe is up to you, but I tend to go with Darwin.

The chicken or the egg is a reference to the causality dilemma which arises from the expression "which came first, the chicken or the egg?". Since both the chicken and the egg create the other in certain circumstances (a chicken emerges from an egg; an egg is laid by a chicken) it is ambiguous which originally gave rise to the other. Purely logical attempts to resolve the dilemma result in an infinite regress, since an egg was caused by a chicken, which was caused by an egg, etc. Since every chicken originates from its egg, it seems obvious the egg came first. Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life. The solution may require an examination of syntax and may rely on verification from advances in modern genetic science. When used in reference to difficult problems of causality, the chicken and egg dilemma is often used to appeal to the futility of debate and lay it to rest.
History of the problem
The earliest reference to the dilemma is found in Plutarch's Moralia, in the books titled "Table Talk," in a series of arguments based on questions posed in a symposium. Under the section entitled, "Whether the hen or the egg came first," the discussion is introduced in such a way as to suggest that the origin of the dilemma was even older:
"...the problem about the egg and the hen, which of them came first, was dragged into our talk, a difficult problem which gives investigators much trouble. And Sulla my comrade said that with a small problem, as with a tool, we were rocking loose a great and heavy one, that of the creation of the world..."
Various answers have been formulated in response to the question, many of them humorous.

For as long as heaven and earth never cease, chicken will always com from egg, even though chicken lays the eggs, yes! but they will always come from the egg, so egg came before chicken.

Many, many distinctive organisms "lay" eggs whilst they reproduce, from reptiles, amphibians and fish, all of the some time past to invertebrate animals. those all did see you later in the previous chickens stepped forward - so the respond is the egg!

i think an egg came first,though i can not explain it exactly. according to the theory of a scientist every life begins from a single cell. as both r living and egg is a cell we can say EGG CAME FIRST.

Khushi,
You have to remember snake's and turtles and many other creatures are all from an egg including you. So I think God got it right when he created all creaters, and then they produced there own offspring.
