If a broody chicken pushes away an egg, it can mean two things:

  • The egg temperature is not maintained (it has turned cold)
  • - egg was infertile
  • - embryo died
  • The egg is rotten

Non-broody chicks will push an egg out of its way because the egg is in its way. Several hens may use the same nest, and some hens do not want to sit on an egg while she is trying to deposit one.

Who came first egg or chicken scientifically?

The egg, 1st of all because there were eggs long before birds, but if you mean a chicken's egg then it is still the egg. This is because when a new species evolves, the egg is say, given birth to a sub-chicken, and the new species (chicken) is inside the egg, which is techically now a chicken's egg.

Was it the chicken or the egg?

It all depends on the question. If you mean, which comes first, then, according to all scientific knowledge on evolution, the egg came first. There had to be a progenitor species that laid an egg. And that egg incurred a small mutation that resulted in a new species equivalent to the chicken. Then, the new chicken species hatched from the egg.
