The egg came first as the female bird which laid it might not neccessarily have been a hen, the hen which hatched from the egg could have been the result of cross breeding.
hen
i believe the hen came first, since god created all the birds and not all the eggs. i believe u should rather talk about the one who came later not about the one who came first hahaa...
Clearly the egg came before the chicken. Inverts, fish, amphibians and dinosaurs were laying eggs long before the first hen existed. And the first hen certainly came from an egg. But, did it come from a "chicken" egg? But i ate the egg Well, that is one theory but who said the hen originally came from an egg? maybe a cross-breed situation occured between two mammals and they gave birth to a hen of somesort then the hen laid an egg. but once again what about the male?
The egg came before the hen; because dinosaurs had been laying eggs before hens(chickens) had even evolved.
The egg came first. The first chicken would have evolved from a different species through a series of genetic mutations, leading to the emergence of the first chicken egg, which contained the genetic code for the first true chicken.
Hen
The hen would have had to come first. If the egg did, eggs need a way of keeping heat to keep them alive. There wouldn't have been anything to keep the baby chick warm because it wouldn't have another hen to keep it that way. If the egg came first, it would've died.
The egg came first. Eggs have been laid by animals for hundreds of millions of years, while chickens, as we know them today, evolved from non-chicken ancestors through a gradual process of change.
The hen's egg came first because other animals layed the egg!!!!
According to evolutionary biology, the egg came first. The first bird that could be classified as a chicken would have evolved from a different species through the process of gradual changes leading to genetic mutations, making the egg laid by this bird the first to contain what we would recognize as a chicken.
Most scientists believe that the chicken came first, as a result of genetic mutations occurring in an egg laid by a bird that was not quite a chicken. This led to the evolution of the modern chicken species.
eggs are single cells so they must have formed from the fusion of other living cells, thus, if we speak practically, egg came first.
The egg, obviously. This is evident because early dinosaurs laid eggs, while MILLIONS of years later, a type of dinosaur evolved into the hen. There also will have been insects and reptiles a long time before the hen evolved, and those laid eggs also. I believe that this is solid proof that the egg came before the hen.
