What came first the chicken or the egg?

Answer 1

the egg. the chicken in the egg was a mutant of another animal.

Answer 2

The Egg.
If a chicken is hatched from an egg- the egg must come first. Without an egg- no chicken would be hatched.
Even the chicken that mated to have the egg came from an egg, get what i'm saying?

Answer 3

The egg because the egg had to make the chicken in the first place. But a chicken didn't necessarily have to make the egg.

Answer 4

When I first saw this question, over fifty years ago, it was of some interest then. However, now it is hackneyed, cliche and worn-out.

Darwin tells us that EGGS came first, the beast that developed into a CHICKEN was an EGG-layer. Common sense tells most of us this. Still. full marks for eliciting a response.

Your next question should be, "When a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a noise?"

or

"What is the sound of one hand clapping?"

Answer 5

To me the answer is simple. The chicken evolved from earlier birds through mutations, right? well, a chicken had to be born from an egg laid by a slightly different bird. so the egg came first, and the chicken was born from it.
