I understand what you are saying, but you are not explaining it very well.
A chicken is bird, and what makes it a chicken is it's DNA.
Chicken DNA if you will....
Before chickens existed, we must assume that a similar looking bird, with similar looking DNA existed - the primitive (chickenlike) bird. Yet not, by definition a chicken.
At some stage in history, either by accident or breeding or so on, the primitive chicken DNA mutated (or evolved?) into chicken as we know it DNA. The offspring would have primitive parents, yet, itself be a genuine chicken.
As this was laid in an egg. The egg came first.... A non chicken laid a chicken egg which grew into the first chicken.

Ah ha... but have you thought of this: what if the chicken evolved from a differenct type of bird which gave birth to live young, then evolution changed it so that the young were born in an egg and hatched later? Or what if the young hatched inside the chicken, were born live, and the egg disolved or came out as afterbirth?!

like the theory but how could you cross breed without one bird being a Chicken!
Your dog and flower example doesn't apply. Cross one dog with another you get a mix of breed but it isnt a new breed on its own. It takes a few generations in dogs to produce the consistent results to call it a NEW breed.

yes, i agree. techinacly, what came first was a bird similar to the chicken, which thru years of evolution, slowly changed into what we now see as the chickin. The chicken we know today came from the egg layed by what waqs almost, but not quite, a chicken.

If we believe the theory of evolution the EGG came before the chicken!
A some point a slightly different chicken, the chickens last ancestor would of layed the egg which contained the first chicken! Since what layed the egg wasn't a chicken it means the EGG came before the chicken

Are you seriously saying that something that wasn't a chicken laid an egg with a baby chicken in it?
So where did the genetic information for the chicken come from.
You must have been reading too many fairy stories from Dawkins :)

Since its widely believed the birds evolved from reptiles, its clear that the egg came first, but was not a chicken as we know it.
