I think the hen came first in this world because for an egg to hatch, it needs the warmth of a hen to hatch

The hen. It had some kind of genetic mutation that caused it to lay an egg instead of giving birth to fully-formed offspring.

DonSoze, hens do lay eggs, cockrels don't lay eggs. But I agree with your second point. Very clever! I think I might say that to the next wise a** teacher who gives me that riddle and says theres no answer lol

Unless you're trying to trick us with some crap about how HEN's don't lay eggs.
The Egg. It was laid by a proto-hen, an almost-but-not-quite hen, that happened to lay an egg with a genetic mutation.

absolutely egg.
Hen is the name of a species of an animals. It was evolved from other animals that bear eggs before them. Dinsaurs bear eggs also, and some branch of it evolved into the fowls and birds. So there were eggs prior to the ancestor of hen.

A primitive form of life which originated chicken came first. Probably
it reproduced by mitosis and by mutations it evolved to what is the hen today.

Have to agree with First L, egg came first. The change in DNA to change or adapt would only come from new brons which come from the egg.

The same time. Egg laying and the animals that lay them evolved together.

a chicken is just an egg's way of making another egg...
