The scientific answer is ... "Is it the Egg team or the Chicken team paying me the grant to work this out?"

Must have been the egg. A near-chicken creature laid an egg with mutated embryo, so the thing which hatched out was different enough from its parent to be a chicken which its parent wasn't.

Simple: whatever laid the first egg that a full-blooded chicken came from wasn't a chicken, it was another species, so the egg came first.

The egg. Changes and mutations occur in progeny, not in a hatched bird. While it is impossible to draw a line in a continuum and say that chickens are on one side and pre-chickens are on the other, at some stage pre-chickens evolved into chickens and the first chicken hatched from an egg laid by a pre-chicken so the egg came first.

The egg came first. Birds evolved from egg-laying reptiles.
