This question is ambiguous.

If you want to know what the technical term is for a mother hen sitting on her egg, that would be incubation.

But if by 'term' you were asking how long the incubation period lasts, fertilized chicken eggs hatch in about 21 days (3 weeks).

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.
