What does a chicken use to get out of the shell when it is time?

A chicken in the egg has a small bump on the end of the beak that is called an 'egg tooth'. This is not really a tooth. It is used by the chicken to chip at the egg from the inside. The chicken will make a break in the egg and when the shell is weakened enough it will push the two sides of the egg apart by stretching it's body. This process is very tiring for the chick and it will need to rest afterwards. If you want to watch there are a lot of videos online try the link below.

Which came 1st the chicken egg or the chicken?

From an evolutionist's point of view, the egg came first. A chicken, by definition, must be born from an egg. The egg does not have to be a chicken's egg however. The egg could be layed by an avian that is very similar to a chicken, but which is not a chicken. A small mutation in the genes produces the chicken offspring, which in turn lays eggs to produce more young.
