The egg came first. In each egg before the chicken, was a creature closer and closer to becoming the final product (the chicken). That's why we have eggs for breakfast and chicken for dinner, because it's always eggs first, chicken later.

The chicken is an actual chicken, while the egg is only a potential chicken. According to Aristotle, actuality precendes potentiality, therefore the chicken came before the egg.

Neither.
What is most likely, is that a species that resembled a chicken produced an egg that was genetically different enough to be consider a chicken.
Which came first, the couple having sex or the Downs' Syndrome child with a chromosome count that doesn't match either one of us.

Egg came first, a similar, but not exactly the same bird layed an egg, the bird in that egg had mutated ever so slightly and tada, a chicken was born.

The egg has been here for a few hundred million years. The chicked for only a few tens of millions of years. The egg wins by a long shot.
