I think I've figured out the answer. If you have any faith in genetic evolution, surley whatever laid the egg must have been 99.9999% chiken, but not genetically a chiken. Due to a mutation in the growing chick, it became what we now know as a chicken what do you think? (Interested in hearing the creationist's view on this one).

many people argued with this question and said to themselves there is no win in this question. id like to convinced you
that there is a winner in this question. i hope you will be convinced .
first let take a look at the question above . which comes first + egg or chicken
i say it would be better if the question is - which comes first - 2 eggs female and male or a rooster and a hen ?
1st. reason that its the chicken that comes first .
ok back to the original question. but first take a look at this - take from here genesis in the beginning http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/HEBREWS/GENCREAT.HTM
And God said, "Let the waters teem with the breath of living creatures, and let birds fly above the land across the face of the expanse of heaven." And so it was.
And God made the wild animals according the their proper kinds, and the cattle according to its proper kind, and every creature that crawls on the ground according to their proper kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our own image, in our likeness, and let them reign over the fish of the sea, and the birds of air, and the cattle, and all the land, 2 and all the creatures that crawl upon the earth."
the bible says - birds fly , wild animals , cattle and man - it didnt say bird's egg , hungry kittens , weak or crying babies. there was no egg that mentioned here .
2nd. reason that its the chicken that comes first
if the eggs comes first - then there is no hen to incubate it properyly , then it wont hatch or even developed into a chick.
3rd. reason that its the chicken that comes first
if its was the egg that comes first and it was able to incubate itself ( which wont happen ) and turn into a chicks , then there is a less chance of survival since the kitten or small lions or tigers are also hungry and looking for food , they could it the chick , so there will be no chance of having a chicken . less chance of survival .
4th reason that its the chicken that comes first
on the first day the egg(s) comes out - female and male - there is no chance that the two eggs will be able to produce 1 egg , or another chicken right away or in a week - cause they reproductive organs are not developed yet and the eggshells covers them.
on the first day the hen and the rooster comes out first - there is a chance that the two chickens will be able to producr 1 egg or another chick in a week or month . and the chickens has more chances of survival than the eggs .
----- i hope you are now convinced and spread the reasons why the chickens comes first . 4 reasons is enough . ----

The fact is we are talking here with a real egg and not a single cell organism called an egg cell. Between the chicken and the egg, in my opinion, the chickens must come first because the chickens can lay the eggs and incubate the eggs with their body heat so that they will develop into chicks, they will hatch after 21 days of incubation. If the eggs were the first to come around, there would be no chickens to incubate them on the first place so that they will develop into chicks, so, they will just remain as eggs.

I think it's Chicken.. A chicken came first and then the egg
But there's a possibility for the egg to come first...
It's just like this - Evolution or Creationism (got tht from simpsons!!)?!

The first one to come was the egg, cuz the egg is a uni-cell organism and a chicken is a muti-cell organism.Since the egg is a simpler form of a living being, it came first.

Eggs were around a billion years before chickens. Fish, reptiles and amphibians also lay eggs.
And please don't use the word 'faith' when referring to a well established scientific theory. There is plenty of evidence; faith is unnecessary.
