Once upon a time, My dad, god, went to the store and bought some eggs, and then decided to let life be in stead of boiling the eggs, and that is how the dam chicken got into to our kitchen.
But then later that week I saw a buny with eggs and that is how the egg was born for easter.

The egg came first. At some time in the evolutionary development of the chicken as we know it, there was some previous creature that was not quite a chicken. Let's call this a "proto-chicken". In the ovary of the proto-chicken, which is always subject to some small amount of mutation, it carries all the genes that would make a proto-chicken, but it gets mutated to form what we think of as a chicken. The egg is laid, and when it hatches, it will become a chicken. Thus, the proto-chicken which laid the egg is not a chicken, but the egg will produce a chicken, so the egg came first.

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.

That depends on whether or not chickens have always layed eggs. However, the egg probably had an adaptive function, so I'd have to agree with labscimas and say, the chicken.

The chicken. The egg is an adaptation which evolved afterward to maintain a stable liquid environment outside the body, allowing young to be produced on dry land.

simple . Nature has and is stillteaching us that everything , including the universe has come from something very small in size ans froim single cells . so every life has sprouted form single cell in the beginning and the multicellular organs evoleved only subsequently . so it is the species that eveolved first and they developed the mechanism of propogation subsequently . so iot is the chichen that is first snd the cow and the cattle and the the lion , the elephant etc that came first and they developed the mechanism of procreation sexually subsequently .Numer zero preceded everything and number one that came after by gradual increase created the other numbers.So everything csme from a single cell .the species developed first and the system of reproduction was developed by the species subsequently.

Chicken. The Bible says God created animals. Now tell me...which is an animal: chiken or egg?

I guess, the egg. Adam has it.
