The Chicken.
If the egg had come first that would be impossible because in order for an egg to hatch and turn into a chicken there would have to be two (one male, one female) chickens. And if there were two chickens that would mean that there were once two eggs and the cycle starts all over again. If the chicken came first that would make sense because then the chicken would have been an egg at one point, and the above would happen...now I am confused...I'll say that two chickens came first, then they created an egg which hatched into a chicken and filled the world with chickens.

This question actually refers to: Is there a god. If there is, the chicken came first because god put it there. If there isn't a god then the answer is the egg came first. The egg being the method of birth from an egg, not the egg of a chicken. Birds and reptiles would have evolved over millions of years to create the system of laying an egg which holds the fetus of their young and through this evolution a chicken emerged. The system of laying eggs coming before it, logically meaning the egg came first. So the question is, God or Evolution? That's an unanswerable question, it's a belief so whatever you feel is true, then that's what's right for you.

In a philosophical sense, this is really irrevelant. For example, Platonic philosophers will say that all that exists is the ideal chicken and the ideal egg. They have both always existed and will continue to exist for all time in the world of ideals. Followers of Berkeley will say that there is no such thing as a chicken or an egg, simple the interplay of the spiritual forces of yourself and the spiritual egg, describing a Matrix, in a sense. Finally, Locke would argue that your belief of a chicken or an egg comes from the sensations (perceptions from the senses) that you have had in the past with chickens and eggs, and the impression that these sensations leave in you mind. It can be concluded that everyone would have a different idea of which came first, as everyone has had different sensations with each. And can you say with certainty that they "came"? Could they not have always existed? Because how can something come from nothing? Then again, how can something have always existed?

The egg because that egg didn't come from a chicken, it came from a less evolved creature later to evolve into a chicken. But, at that time the less evolved creature wasn't a chicken and it produced an egg.So the egg came first.

Oh this is hard...Without the egg, there will be no chicken...but without the chicken, how the hell are you going to get an egg....Unless you're religious and believe that chicken came first....but I believe in evolution
