The chicken. God created animals, not eggs. He created hens to lay eggs so that they could keep the population of the chickens alive, so He wouldn't have to create a new chicken every single day.

A team made up of a geneticist, philosopher and chicken farmer claim to have found an answer. It was the egg.
Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life.
Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg.
Professor John Brookfield, a specialist in evolutionary genetics at the University of Nottingham, told the UK Press Association the pecking order was clear.
The living organism inside the eggshell would have had the same DNA as the chicken it would develop into, he said.
"Therefore, the first living thing which we could say unequivocally was a member of the species would be this first egg," he added. "So, I would conclude that the egg came first."
The same conclusion was reached by his fellow "eggsperts" Professor David Papineau, of King's College London, and poultry farmer Charles Bourns.
Mr Papineau, an expert in the philosophy of science, agreed that the first chicken came from an egg and that proves there were chicken eggs before chickens.
He told PA people were mistaken if they argued that the mutant egg belonged to the "non-chicken" bird parents.
"I would argue it is a chicken egg if it has a chicken in it," he said.
"If a kangaroo laid an egg from which an ostrich hatched, that would surely be an ostrich egg, not a kangaroo egg."
Bourns, chairman of trade body Great British Chicken, said he was also firmly in the pro-egg camp.
He said: "Eggs were around long before the first chicken arrived. Of course, they may not have been chicken eggs as we see them today, but they were eggs."
The debate, which may come as a relief to those with argumentative relatives, was organized by Disney to promote the release of the film "Chicken Little" on DVD.

I think the egg because, no the chicken came first becaue when the hen did the chicken the sperm from the chicken went inside the egg and then grew, but actually despite being yellow the white of the chicken becomes the chick and the yolk has carbs in it to support the grownth of the white, but rocky doesn't care he eats em raw and if thier eggs he doesn't care if the chicken came first because he ate raw and didn't eat the egg

The chicken came first because the chicken layed the egg.

A chicken and an egg are in bed, The egg is sitting up, smoking a cigarette, with a big smile on it's face.
The chicken looks over at the egg, pulls up the blankets and says, "Well, at least now we know who came first!"

the chicken, because:
1) the egg would need to be fertalized by a rooster, which is a chicken.
2) God created chickens as adults
3) the chicks would not survive without a mother.
