No-one knows what was responsible for the big bang, although there are lots of theories. You're right to highlight the issue of infinite regression - as far as I can see, the only solution to this is to assume that at some point, something was caused by an event that was itself uncaused, thus terminating the regression. Quantum physics does indeed suggest that there are uncaused events at the quantum level, so this is perhaps not such a wild idea.
The egg came first, because genetic change can only happen when an egg is produced, not when an egg hatches.

1) Nothing created the big bang, because there is no creator. Now if you had asked what CAUSED the big bang, you might have got some interesting answers. Events don't have creators, they have causes. Noone creates the ball dropping, something causes the ball to drop.
2) Eggs appeared first, a good example of this is Dinosaur eggs which were fossilized before chickens existed. But then again you might not 'believe' in the fossil record. At any rate there were eggs before chickens.
Also, I'm not 100% sure, i may be wrong, but if you look in the bible doesn't it say fish were created first? If so, then they had eggs before chickens, many animals did, so if you don't like the scientific answer, the fictional one is in the bible, or in some of the books written by J.R.R Tolkien

You won't like this answer, but the Big Bang was. It happened. We can go back in time to the point of billionths of a second after the Big Bang, but modern mathematics fall apart at Time = 0. We can still measure the 'echo' left over from the event. When the Big Bang happened, there was an equivalent of all the energy in the universe emerging as heat, matter and anti-matter. As the universe expanded, it cooled and the anti-matter went into it's own dimension. Most of the gravity went into another dimension. We now believe there are eleven dimensions. We are aware of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd. & 4th dimensions. Anyway, the matter and energy within our dimensions cooled and matter and smatter (what they call anti-matter - an 'anti' particle has an 's' in front of it. mueons become smeuons, electron becomes a selectron, etc.) became particles, then atoms, and everything else.
chickens and eggs all developed at the same time.

As a scientific person, I believe that the universe is self-existing. If God created the universe, who created God? The universe could just have always existed. Life came about by means of abiogenesis, the creation of life from non-living matter; for example, two amino acids coming together to form the first protein and establishing the building blocks of life. We as humans exist today because of a long and drawn out process of evolution and natural selection. We're just one species inhabiting this massive biosphere called Earth. There really isn't anything special about us. No reason to try and explain a first-cause other than to give yourself a massive headache.

I don't know about the first, but I can explain the second to you :)
It's the egg. Here's my idea:
1. You have a form of bird that has the genes of the Chicken's predecessors, but it's not quite chicken yet.
2. Over time as this breed of bird reproduces, it's genetic code changes, gradually coming close to that of a modern day chicken.
3. Eventually we have a bird that genetically can be described as being 99.999999999999% chicken.
4. The bird lays an egg, and out pops a bird that can now be scientifically described as a chicken.

1) The big bang (so called) is a quality of the universe (or possibly multiverse). You can wiki big bang and cosmic inflation if you're interested; somehow I don't suppose you will.
2) Eggs.

1) substitute "God" for "big bang" and then ask the question.
2) what's an "agg"?
