Well, I think the chicken did. However, if Tom Cruise hears about this, he's gonna yell at me for not using scientology to figure out the answer to your question.

The chicken, of course, and that also answers the question, "why did the chicken cross the road"? To lay the egg!

The egg... obviously.
It is a chicken egg, in that a chicken will hatch from it....
.... but what laid it JUST falls short of the definition of "chicken" .... if only by a few base-pairs here and there: a few altered genes. Just a mutation or so during meiosis in the parent, and it spawns the first chicken.... in egg form.
Quite simple really.

Egg first. There is one news published a year ago. we assume the ancestor of chicken is xxx and under selection pressure xxx accumulated enough mutation in its DNA most likely as chicken and xxx still can survive. xxx will lay an egg which inherited all those mutation and when the egg hatched, it become mutated xxx or so called chicken...
well, i might not very good at explaning facts, i still have the link about the news announced. It is interesting, take a look.
Logic is everything....

The chicken lays the egg.
when god made the world he did not put loads of eggs on earth.
Don't fill up your brain with philosophical questions. Leave that to the philosophers.
good luck with clearing your brain of stuff

the chicken.
God spoke the world into being. All beings just came to be at His voice.
All beings on the earth have vastly varied life cycles. When God made the first humans they were already adults, as far as we can tell by scripture. All the previous stages of life were just skipped. The same rules would apply to all creatures God made, then. They appeared as adults. Then reproduced from there.

if you believe in evolution, it's the egg, because the egg was laid by a bird that was like a chicken, but not quite a chicken. if you believe in a creator, then he, she, it, or them, probably created the chickens first.

The really prosaic answer comes from paleontology. The egg came first, from the earliest known chordates and has been a constant in all subsequent chordates. (Even mammals, the only difference being that fertilization and development of the embryo takes place in the mother).

I balanced an egg today, in about 3 seconds.
The shape of the egg determines its ability to balance, not the time of year (just a theory, not a fact, god forbid).
final answer, the egg.
Now trying to balance a chicken on its head.
Not so easy, hmmmm...

the chicken. if you are looking at it from a creation stand point, then of course God created the chicken first. if you are looking at it from an evolution mindset, the chicken evolved from another animal, not an egg
