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.

The mutation comment was clever, but where did that egg come from? Was it before it's future makers? or after? Suppose, there was/is, an all powerful creator - and that creator was me - I'd make the eggs first. I'd just create them fertilized and ready to hatch, because it'd be more fun. And being all powerful I could speed the incubation process to a couple of seconds if I wanted - because time does not reign over the all powerful. Though it does make sense that the chicken would be first - because - if the egg was first, who would care for the chick when it hatched a helpless newborn? And what are the odds of it making it in the wildest of wilds without defense -completely unprotected.

the chicken - an egg takes 21 days to hatch. Creation story took place in 6 days, not enough time for the egg to hatch so the chicken came 1st

I say the chicken... an egg can't really hatch properly if it isn't sat on by a chicken.
Which came first, the chicken salad or the egg salad?

The Egg. There was a mutation in an egg of another bird resulting in the formation of a chicken.

Haha, I see this question frequently. Depends if you believe in a divine creator (chicken) or evolution (egg). Anyway, I think the chicken came first.

the egg came first because if the chicken came first, who would fertilize the egg to become another chicken? but wen it hatches, there has to be more eggs hatching too.....xD
