The egg came first. There is no chicken anywhere that came from anywhere except an egg.

The first complete DNA representing a true chicken was donated by two parents that were not true chickens. Thus the first true chicken egg hatched into the first true chicken. The egg came first.

The egg, because the evolution that leaded to the chicken took place inside the egg.

Depends on the theory. In evolution, the amniotic egg evolved first. If you believe in Intelligent Design, the chicken came first, as God created the "fowls of the air." Hence, chickens, although the domestic varieties aren't very strong fliers.

a population of birds that were not chickens (wild jungle fowl) were domesticated by humans and artificially bred to produce a population of chickens. there was no single first chicken. it is true that chickens were intelligently designed in a manner of speaking, but we don't have to be coy about the designer, it was humans.

The egg existed within protists, plants, insects, fish, amphibians, and reptiles before the first bird (and therefore the first chicken) ever existed.

The rooster came first.
And then he smoked a cigarette while he waited on the chicken to finish herself off.
The egg was last.
