Egg. "... the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life.
Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg."
So says a team of a geneticist, philosopher and chicken farmer
They go on to say..
"Eggs were around long before the first chicken arrived. Of course, they may not have been chicken eggs as we see them today, but they were eggs."
The question never does specify if it's a chicken egg we're talking about...

People often ask, as an idle question, whether the process of evolution began with the chicken or the egg. Was there an egg out of which the first chicken came, or did a chicken lay the first egg? I am in a position to say that the first thing created was the egg.
"When god created all the creatures of the earth, He summoned all the embyoes into the Great Hall. As they gathered, he saw that it was good. Before the Great Throne, he asked each and every creature what tool or change in their body did they want. Even the duckbilled playpus had a request. Many requested wings, some paws to dig with or teeth to chew with. The last remaining embryo was Man. Man didn't want anything, just the brains and knowledge to use tools to dig, to fly, to figure out ways of doing things better.
For Man unselfishness, God granted Man dominions over the land, the animals and creatures of the air....and completing his tasks, God knocked off for the weekend....to rest up for the Monday to come..."

It depends who you ask. If you ask the chicken he'll say the egg came first. If you ask the egg, he'll blame the chicken. One of them is lying. The more direct question is "which is more truthful the chicken or the egg?". The egg 's perception oh the truth is limited to what is happening inside the shell. He would not be able to know the truth outside of the shell as it appears to you and me, and is therefore lying.
Therefore, by process of elimination: the chicken came first.

The egg. This, obviously, begs the questions, "Then who laid the egg?" It was the animal previous to the chicken in the evolutionary ladder. The egg was a mutation and became the first chicken. It reproduced with the other "pre-chickens" and continued to pass along the mutated genes, creating more chickens.

In the theory of Adam and Eve the chicken, but in the Theory of Evolution the egg....

The chicken came ages ago, the egg only came when a rooster came along! lol
no seriously the chicken came first, because god created living things first, and then they laid eggs and/or did whatever they had to, to carry on their generations....my belief

The chicken came first 'cause it was made first. Then it layed an egg. The rooster was also made when the chicken was cause you can't really get an egg if there isn't both the chicken (hen) and the rooster.

I think some form of bird evolved and laid an egg and now we have chickens!

Well my theory is that a egg cannot create itself. It has to be created. God created all animals and the bible theroy these animals entered the ark 2 by 2....male and female.

They evolved concomitantly. The organism that produced an obdurate membrane survived to become more chicken like.
