No opinions here. I'll tell you the answer from an evolutionist biologist's point of view.
First, there were reptiles. Birds evolved from them. Some bird-like reptile got mutated.
This mutation made its egg a little different from the regular reptile eggs.
Let's call this reptile (Ancestor of the first chickens on earth)- a "proto-hen".
This proto-hen laid a mutated egg which developed into the first ever chicken.
That's why scientists suggest that the EGG came before the chicken.
Creationists however, think that some white-bearded man sitting on clouds CREATED all the hens and dogs and men etc... which I think is ridiculous.
Hope this helped.

It was an ancestor to the chicken that gave rise to an egg that resulted in a chicken, get it? So the egg would have come first. The real question is did the chicken's ancestor come first or was it its' egg?

The chicken came from an egg, too.

Okay. Chicken from human-selected breedings of wild fowl. Egg first from pre-chicken ancestor.

Well, since all life evolved from single celled organisms, I guess the best answer would be to say that the egg came first.

Good question,but not too original if I were to say so myself.
I'd bet on the chicken,but I doubt if you are going to prove either one.

based on biblical God created animals... it means he created chicken in order to lay egg.
