I beleive the egg came first. I think that an egg came from a different animal and due to some sort of genetic mutation it resulted in a species similar to a chicken and after this happened many times it eventually resulted in the species we now know as chickens. which is ( a not very clear) version of evolution based on Darwinism.

This question appears regularly in the question file, so let's take a shot at it.
In nature, living things evolve through changes in their DNA. In an animal like a chicken, DNA from a male sperm cell and a female ovum meet and combine to form a zygote -- the first cell of a new baby chicken. This first cell divides innumerable times to form all of the cells of the complete animal. In any animal, every cell contains exactly the same DNA, and that DNA comes from the zygote.
Chickens evolved from non-chickens through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote. These changes and mutations only have an effect at the point where a new zygote is created. That is, two non-chickens mated and the DNA in their new zygote contained the mutation(s) that produced the first true chicken. That one zygote cell divided to produce the first true chicken.
Prior to that first true chicken zygote, there were only non-chickens. The zygote cell is the only place where DNA mutations could produce a new animal, and the zygote cell is housed in the chicken's egg. So, the egg must have come first.

Well if we go back to the book of Genesis in the Bible we hear that God created all kinds of animals so I'm going with a couple of chickens came down to earth not the eggs but the chickens themselves.

the logical answer is the egg. due to evolution causing species to change very slowly something that was not quite a chicken must have laid an egg from which the next evolutionary step a chicken hatched.

It was the egg because two species must have mated and created the chicken creature. There is no chicken without the egg:o)

God created animals with the capacity to reproduce. so the chicken, then the egg then the egg came later..He did it so well that he did not have to do it again.Isn't it wonderful. You 'll probably get many answers since this has been asked before
but this one is true.

not all eggs make chickens.
so it's got to be the chicken.

Scientifically, the chicken. Chickens were transformed from a prehistoric animal.

God sent the chicken and it hatched an egg
