This is a rephrase of "What came first, the chicken or the egg?"
Evolution and natural selection, where creatures are slowly changing over time due to random mutations. The good, beneficial mutations give the creature an advantage which allows it to survive. The bad mutations give the creature a disadvantage meaning they are less likely to survive.
At a certain point in time, a creature that was almost a chicken layed an egg containing a creature that had a mutation that made it the first chicken. Therefore the egg came before the chicken.
For non-evolutionists...
One Creationist view would be that the chicken was created a chicken, so came first. Another creationist view would be similar to the natural selection answer, as some creationists agree with natural selection as it can be seen to happen. So a chicken adapting by selection to be a better chicken or a different breed of chicken is fine, as long as it doesn't decide to evolve into a lizard.

Who came first -hen or its egg?
There is more chance of egg because it is a cell. ________________ The way that you have asked the question leads necessarily to the conclusion that the hen existed before its egg existed, if you are talking about an egg laid by the hen. It leads necessarily to the conclusion that the egg existed first if you are talking about the egg from which this hen developed. You have only to clarify which egg you are talking about, and the conclusion becomes unambiguous. This is different from the classic "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
