Is there any scientific way of establishing which came first, the chicken or the egg?

If it is just an egg in general of course the egg came first, but if you want to know about the chicken egg the chicken had to come first. because the chicken would have been a some other bird offspring that mutated to a more physically fit bird that later was named the chicken. So then that mutated bird that was more fit to reproduce, later named the chicken, pop out the first chicken egg. Evolution through mutation.

yes the egg came first. Chickens evolved from other egg laying animals. Fish and reptiles laid eggs long before the chicken did

Yes because the chicken was not the first bird. The question you want it which came first, the parent or the offspring?

No. To be a 'scientific' answer, it would have to be observeable and repeatable. No one, of course, has ever observed a lizard laying a bird egg or any other form of 'macro' evolution. The answer to this question is faith-based, whether it is faith in the guesses of evolutionists, or faith in the account in Genesis of the bible.
