Who comes first, the Egg or the Chicken?

Answer 1

The egg.

It was laid by a Red Junglefowl, a Gallus species originating in Asia. It is not a chicken; it is, however, the ancestor of all chickens.

Somewhere down the line, one of the Red Junglefowl's eggs' DNA was mutated, and the egg produced a new kind of bird, a chicken. Which means, the Red Junglefowl's egg came before the chicken. And the first true chicken egg was laid by that chicken.

Answer 2

When you really think about it, the question is not "What came first, the Chicken or the Chicken egg?" It is only asking about whether "the egg" came first and eggs of all types (dinosaur eggs, fish eggs, etc) were around LONG before chickens ever existed. So therefore, The Egg came first. Think about it. : )
