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.

a chicken? its like the question: what came 1st, an egg or a chicken.
This question is more of a philosophical debate. From an evolutionary standpoint, it is believed that the egg came first, as the genetic mutation necessary for a chicken to hatch must have first occurred in an egg. However, from a biblical perspective, it is said that God created the animals, including chickens, fully formed.
The egg came first. Evolutionary changes over time resulted in the gradual transition of a bird species laying eggs with different traits, eventually leading to the chicken as we know it today.
It came from a chicken who came from and egg which came from a chicken which came from an egg...and so on until a chicken-like ancestor in the wild was domesticated and made the "first" chicken. It's evolution.
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.
either the egg or the chicken came first. of course, god couldve put an egg on the earth, and it couldve hatched into a chicken, or the chicken couldve came first and hatched an egg...
The egg came first. According to evolutionary science, eggs have been around for millions of years before the first chicken evolved. The egg was laid by a bird that was not quite a chicken, and the offspring hatched from that egg eventually evolved into what we now call a chicken.
the egg!
There is much debate about whether the chicken or the egg came first, but both came before KFC.
the egg
the egg came first because where are you going to get the chicken if their is no egg... you can't get a chicken out of thin air ...you need a egg to get the first chicken.... then that chicken lays a egg ...then that one does , then the next and so on...the earth's matter made up the first egg....kill the first chicken...you'll still have a egg to get another chicken...kill the first egg.... chickens would cease to ''egg-sist''(exsist).The egg came first from another animal that adapted into the chicken. Kind of like how humans came from monkeys.
In the context of evolution, the egg came first. The development of hard shells around eggs allowed for animals to lay them outside the body, protecting and nourishing the embryo inside. This evolutionary adaptation predates the existence of chickens as we know them today.
