Can anyone tell me egg came first or hen?

Answer 1

It all depends on what you believe. If you believe in Creation, then the hen came first. However, if you believe otherwise, it was neither...there first was a bird- like- fish which evolved into a bird like fish with feet, then years later it grew a beak, and sooner or later it became a hen! So it’s a matter of opinion…I personally see more sense in creation…

Answer 2

Sorry if I have to say that every previous answer are wrong.

Some one said cleverly that not only birds lay eggs,
fishes too, and those eggs don't need a shell because they can't dry while in water.
Even a mammal start from an "egg", but this egg (ovum = from the Latin word for egg) don't need a hard shell because it 's well protected inside the female uterus.

The ovum evolve into blastocyst, then to an embryo, then to fetus, then to unborn, then to adult.

Only animals when multiplying by parthenogenesis don't use eggs structure. (bacterias, hydra, Aphids [greenfly], ... )

Also different kind of eggs are adapted to the behavior and shape of its related adult animal, because, since million of years ago, they evolve together from the unicellular kingdom .

An ovum is equivalent to eukaryotes (unicellular microorganisms) and both will soon segment in a binary fission (the mitosis). Humans, animals (including hen), plants, fungi, and protists are all eukaryotes.

At the unicellular level, individual cell and ovum and egg are confused structures. Also neither egg or hen came first, both evolve together from a previous unicellular microorganisms.
As simple as that, no magic !

An hen ans its egg are just the same animal at a different development cycle in life transmision history.

Answer 3

egg came first.
i think u r quite aware about heredity and evolution. after several evolutionary processes,hen evolved from an egg laid by its previous generation which might lack some features of a perfect hen.
so u can say egg came 1st

Answer 4

I'm thinking the egg because when a reptile like the T-rex is adapting it's now becoming more like chickens over the generations. It's just not logical if a 7/8 of a chiken reptile just woke up one day and found that it was a full chicken. It must have bred first and it's yuong geting its genes finally became the first chicken

Answer 5

Egg came first because there were eggs of many animals like fishes hence egg came first.
