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.

Who came first !! The chicken or 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.
