Why of course it was the chicken but...I will also accept that since one is a complicated form of replication and the other is the complete organism, they are the same. Look at it in terms of a single celled organism that replicates through cellular division. Do we ask which came first the cell on the left or the cell on the right?? No. They divided into two. That is the concept of replication and if you extend it through billions of years you can understand that the chicken reproduces by laying the egg (fertilized) and that in essence it is just a complicated version of the single-celled division.However, if that is not convincing enough--Simply put, whatever laid the first egg was a chicken. The egg (being a chicken) had to be laid by a chicken in order to be a chicken egg. Combine this information with the information on reproduction and evolution and you see that there is no paradox.Scientists should stop using this as a paradox. In the future, people will laugh at our naivity. If one understands evolution there is no paradox. The question is just as silly as someone asking, "which came first the engine or the wheel? ah...it's a paradox--the car couldn't move without the wheel or the engine...". You see what I mean?

The egg. Theory has it that small micro organisms evolved into the living beings of today over millions of years. Hence the chicken should have come after many evolutions. So finally what we know as chicken today came out from an egg laid by something else that is not 100% chicken..............

With cloning techniques it is possible to have a chicken without needing the egg, so yes, the chicken

egg - evolution, you have a - the before species which lays an egg and produces the more efficient species known as chicken. scientist predict were gonna loose our little toe, now its not gonna suddenly drop off is it it will happen to our offspring so we came before the offspring the same as the egg came before the chicken

God made all the Animals.so that sorts the chicken out.
Now God Must have come first.
And Adam and Eve must have come after.
Then Jesus came in the garden.
after that Cain and Abel.Came.
At this stage,They invented the word BEGAT.
So we are all Begotten..
High to all my family.
By the way you 600 billion. I can't afford your birthday pressyies this year..
Oh it was the chicken that came first he had a smoke in bed afterwards.
