Chicken/Egg debate Solved:?
The answer is so simple, It's been starring me in the face the whole time!
What do you eat in the morning first, Fryed Chicken or Fryed Eggs?
I, as well as millions of others do, Eat the eggs first,
So the eggs came before the chicken!
I'll thank you in advanced for the Nobel Peace Prize!

To HERO; Nice try on your argument, But you assume the
p-chick layed a p-egg. I say It had to be a chicken egg,If the animal is different.
It's survival of the fittest. Eggs get eaten first because the have been around first!

My biology teacher said that the egg comes first because two birds created a mutated egg which became the wonderful egg of the new species...the chicken!

The eggs really did come first before the chicken. It's came from a chicken/bird dinosaur in ye olden times. Fossils were found...

Nowadays we know that chickens, or eggs, for that matter, were not created by God, but that they are the product of a long evolution, and that makes the Dilemma more difficult to solve. But it can be done. To begin with, we have to specify that we will be speaking about chickens and chicken's eggs, not about chickens and any kind of eggs, because in that case, the answer is trivial and uninteresting. This seems evident, but I mention it because of its importance further in this discussion.
Let us call the animal which preceded chickens in the evolution of the species the primeval chicken, or p-chicken for short. The difference between chicken and p-chicken is probably small and arbitrary, but it must be possible to differentiate between them, although the criterion we will use will be chosen more or less arbitrarily by biologists. In the remainder of this article I will speak about chickens and p-chickens as if we all know the difference; what exactly this difference is, is unimportant to us philosophers.
One day a p-chicken must have laid an egg, out of which a modern chicken emerged. The arrival of this strange chicken has maybe happened on several occasions independently, and the first modern chicken might not be the ancestor of all our chickens, or it might even have died childless, but this is of no importance for our discussion. The only factor of importance is, whether the egg out of which the first modern chicken was born, was a real chicken's egg. If this egg actually was a chicken's egg, then the Egg existed before the Chicken, if not, it can only have originated later.
Now we still have to define a chicken's egg. At first sight, there seem to be three possibilities: a chicken's egg is an egg laid by a chicken (we might call this the popular definition of a chicken's egg), or a chicken's egg is an egg out of which a chicken is born, or a chicken's egg is an egg laid by a chicken, out of which a chicken is born. In fact, only the first definition can be right, because also the eggs we eat, which most certainly do not contain chickens, are called chicken's eggs. And on top of that, if eggs were named after what they contained, there would also have to exist cock's eggs. No, the genitive form can only refer to the maker, not to the inhabitant of the egg.
So, as the egg, out of which the first chicken emerged, cannot have been a chicken's egg, because it was laid by a p-chicken, and as we have clearly stated that the Egg in the Dilemma of the Chicken and the Egg can only have been meant as a chicken's egg, I conclude that the Egg came into existence after the Chicken. With the remark, that for once the old creation myths and modern science have come to the same conclusion, I finally put an end to this learned discussion.

The egg, because if there was no egg to hatch,.. then there would be no chicken. A chicken can't automatically appear it has to be created by an egg.

actually, it depends. If you believe in evolution, then the chicken came first because it evolved from something else so it could adapt to its environment. or maybe there was a special cross between to birds that produced a chicken egg, so really there is no correct and proven answer.

A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile on its face and the egg is frowning and looking a bit pissed off. The egg mutters, to no-one in particular, "Well, I guess we answered THAT question!"

Egg came first another place.
Dinosaurs and prehistoric fish laid eggs long before chickens came into existence

I think that the rooster came first, without it the chicken would not have laid an egg

The Chicken came first...again, and the egg was really ticked off, saying, "Hey, how come you always get to come first?" to which the Chicken replied, "Hey, you're the one who wanted to get laid."

But where did the egg originate from? wouldn't it come from the chicken?
the question is which came first (not meaning which did you eat first).
