Basically, many, many moons ago there was a chicken-like bird. It was genetically close to a chicken but wasn't a full-blown chicken yet. The video calls it a proto-chicken. So proto-hen laid an egg, and proto-rooster fertilized it. But when the genes from ma and pa almost-chicken fused, they combined in a new way, creating a mutation that accidentally made the baby different from its parents. Although it would take millennia for the difference to be noticed, that egg was different enough to become the official progenitor of a new species, now known as... the chicken! So in a nutshell (or an eggshell, if you like), two birds that weren't really chickens created a chicken egg, and hence, we have an answer: The egg came first, and then it hatched a chicken.
Maybe the question we should be asking is: Which came first, the proto-chicken or the proto-chicken egg?

∙ 12y agoThe egg DEFINITELY came before the chicken as hard-shelled eggs evolved millions of years before the birds, therefore, the 1st ever chicken to evolve came from an egg; which had evolved long, lomg before. It is a mere question of evolution. Dinosaurs had hard-shelled eggs and all birds evolved from the dinosaurs!

What came first the chicken or the egg if the egg came how did it come if it was the chicken how did that come?
god made the chicken and the chicken made an egg OR Dinosaurs laid eggs before the chicken Yellow pineapples purple monkeys in space
Do the chicken come before the egg?
The Lord made ALL creatures. So the CHICKEN came FIRST.
Did the egg come before the chicken or the chicken before the egg?
In a literal sense, the chicken. Without the hen, the egg could not be formed nor laid. Therefore, the hen must come first. The question that comes soon after is "Then how was the hen born?" The fact of the matter is chickens were not born, they evolved from other creatures; the chicken has been "in the making" for millions of years. So, in a technical sense, the egg came before the hen; the only thing that came before the chicken was non-chickens, therefore the mutations/combinations had to have occurred inside the egg which gave birth to the hen.
Where did the chicken egg come from?
The Chicken.
Which came first- the chicken or the egg and how did the chicken or the egg come to be?
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.
What comes fist the chicken or the egg an why?
The egg because what would the chicken come from
Where does a chicken come from?
An egg
Were the chicken come from?
an egg
Who comes first chicken or egg?
If you think carefully about it, chicken comes first. An egg would not be hatched if, there was no warmth. A chicken sits on the egg before it can hatch. I dont reckon there was any incubator long time ago. Sun does not provide the extra warmth needed for an egg to hatch. haha tricked you. If you believe in God, then chickens came before the egg.
Did James Gregory think the chicken came before the egg?
yes, he was a strong believer that the chicken came before the egg. It was proven because the protein in the chicken's overies is the only substance on earth that can create the chicken egg.
Which come first a chicken or an egg?
personally i think it was the chicken ____________________ I disagree; eggs have been around since the days of the dinosaurs (or before!) while chickens are a relatively recent development. Please note that the question does NOT specify a "chicken egg".
Did the chicken come befor the egg?
My belief is that the egg came before the chicken. There was a bird ancestor to the modern chicken. Mutations (genetic changes) occur and the new characteristics show up in the chick in the egg. So the new, modern breeds are due to changes which show up in the egg, not in the parent bird.
