I know, I know.... this question is like air. it's everywhere(rhyme there ^^ oh, and nother, waw I'm pro) anyway
Chicken of Egg?
BUT
what's your reason? It;'s easy enough to say chicken. or egg..
but, do you really have a reason?
My opinion.
Egg
Something, maybe a pathetic attempt of a pterodactyl mated with another sort of bird.. maybe a dodo.. idk
their offspring then became a sort of species that has never been discovered, then evolved slowly into the modern chicken.
Thus, making the egg come before the chicken.
Birds mate > egg > evolution to the chicken.
what is your reason?
All I really want is a reason.. Just give me one.
don't just say chicken. or whatever.

I think i have the same kind of idea as you really, that a chicken evolved from another species of animal

the answer to this question is basically a way to state what you believe. if you say "chicken," no matter what your explanation, it means, either directly or in a roundabout way, you believe in creation, by god or allah or who(what)ever. it means you think that one day there was a space, occupied by oxygen and nitrogen and dirt and leaves and then, poof, there's a freakin chicken standing there. If it didn't hatch from an egg, then how did it get there? but if it hatched from an egg, where did the egg come from? if you answer "egg," then you (should) believe in the slowness of progress, of Evolution. that in the days when the entire earth was wild (as we define wild, anyway), something mated with something and that something mated with something else, an egg hatched, and after 700 freak-babies came to an abrupt and sticky end at the hands (or beaks/claws) of their "normal" brothers and sisters, the chicken got some breathing room and started to make a name for itself. not that i don't believe in something way more powerful and wise than us, like god, but personally, i'm with the egg crowd. "poof, there's a chicken" sounds a lot simpler than what a complex being like god would do. my opinion, he (or whatever) wants us to have a more complex experience in our lives than, "hey, a chicken. Amen." Word.

Chicken, because God made it first. Really, an egg couldn't hatch by itself and survive if it didn't have something taking care of it. Baby birds can't do much when they're little and need to be fed, so it's probably the same for chickens.

This question has been asked so many times recently!
The egg predates the chicken, full stop. Many organisms were laying eggs eons before the chicken, or even birds, evolved.
So it's an easy question, with a simple, definitive answer - the egg!
A more difficult question would be; which came first, the chicken or the chicken's egg!

The chicken came first, at least that what I was taught at my first school. God made the creatures (didn't he make some from clay)? And the creatures mated and multiplied. All egg laying creatures mated and the females laid eggs.

I've always said the egg came first. I believe that there had to be some kind of vessel for the chick to hatch from first, however it was created.

well it was egg before chicken existed. If a chiocken, as we know it today, was born to this world as the 1st chicken, then it came from an egg.So its the egg!

the chicken had to come from an egg, which was produced by the cross mating or evolution of other species.

okkkaaayyyyy
Chicken
The egg could not create itself, but the chicken could have by evolving from something else.
At some point in the history of life, the single celled organism became a multi-celled organism that eventually changed and reorganized itself into you guessed it, a chicken, which reorganized itself again and began to lay eggs.
Mind boggling isn't it?

Chicken
First, because c comes before e in the dictionary, so therefore, 'chicken' is listed before 'egg.'
SECOND, and less "tongue- in- cheek-edly," the parent came first to take care of the child... not the other way around.
Third... God made the chicken.
