this question was officially answered by experts.
"Now a team made up of a geneticist, philosopher and chicken farmer claim to have found an answer. It was the egg.
Put simply, 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.
....
Bourns, chairman of trade body Great British Chicken, said he was also firmly in the pro-egg camp.
He said: "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."

If you mean a chicken egg, the chicken had to be first because an egg has to be developed in the chicken before it can be laid. The chicken evolved from other birds, reptiles or whatever. However, the first chicken would have come from an egg laid by a prechicken .

I think it depends on your position on creation or evolution. If you believe in a god then I'd say god probably put the chicken here first then the first chicken laid and nurtured its eggs. Evolution I would have to say some kind of egg came before the creature hatched from the egg.

Easy, the chicken came first. The only catch is the chicken was not a chicken when it came into existence. It was some asexual microbial thingamajig that evolved into an animal that lays eggs.

Probably the egg came first, since birds evolved from dinosaur lizard things (pretty accurate, I know). Speaking as though evolution happens overnight, a lizard must have laid the egg that gave birth to the first chicken. ^_^
Probably predators at the time the chicken evolved.

It depends on if you believe evolution. Whatever was the first chicken came in an egg OR god made a chicken in the beginning. Honestly I dont know.

Wether you believe evolution or creationism, the chicken came first god made the chicken ...and in EVo pre chicken animals evolved into the chicken, using their pre chicken eggs using their eggs to hatch the next GEn. after a long line came the chicken who then had its egg...a chicken egg.

Chicken came first. Man, perhaps ate it first.
