In my opinion, the egg. I know, I know... you're screaming "but what laid the egg??" Whatever the changes were that produced what we can properly call a chicken, those changes came about in an individual bird, and possibly in several individual birds around the same period of time. That bird hatched out of an egg. The egg was laid by a bird, but not by a chicken, properly speaking. So the egg containing the chicken happened, and out of that egg was hatched-- the chicken. On the other hand, the changes that finally produced what we properly call a 'chicken' were many in number, and happened, we presume, over a long period of time. It is probably not correct to think of the 'chicken' as appearing very suddenly, in the laying of one egg. There were first birds that were not very much like chickens, then birds that gradually became more and more 'chicken-like', until we reach Col. Sanders. In fact, what's to say that chickens are not continuing to evolve as we speak? Maybe they're not even chickens yet... I'm kidding, but you get the idea.
The egg came first. The evolutionary ancestors of chickens were laying eggs long before the modern chicken species.
It is a philosophical question without a definitive answer. Some believe the egg came first, as mutations in the reproductive cells of an earlier species led to the first chicken egg. Others argue that the first chicken must have hatched from an egg, so the egg came first.
I think the egg came first-not nessacerikly a chickens egg but an egg may have come first I think the chicken came first because, the chicken evolved from soemthing that wasnt a chicken and once it was a chicken it had an egg. but the egg the chickn came from had a chicken in... im confused This is one of those questions that has been debated for years. We may never know the answer...or perhaps we now do. In 2006 a geneticist, philosopher and chicken farmer say they have the answer. It was the egg. See link.
The egg came first. The first chicken would have hatched from an egg laid by a bird that was not quite a chicken yet, due to gradual changes over time in its genes.
According to evolutionist theory, the egg came first. This is because the genetic mutation needed to create the chicken would have occurred in the egg before the first chicken hatched.
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.

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.
the egg!
There is much debate about whether the chicken or the egg came first, but both came before KFC.
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...
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.
"Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" is a famous riddle that has no answer.
Technically the ancestors of the chicken came first.
I will clear up the question:"What came first, the chicken or the egg?"You are correct, the chicken came first.
the egg because dinos lay eggs
a chicken? its like the question: what came 1st, an egg or a chicken.
