You would need a chicken to make the egg but a egg to make a chicken! So this Question is impossible to answer.

Second answer

That depends on how you define the egg. If it is a chicken egg, then a chicken would obviously have to come first in order to lay it. If you mean eggs in general, then eggs were around long before chickens. The first creatures to lay eggs on land were lobe-finned fish, fish with usable lungs and a means of locomotion outside the water. A group that split off from these fish became amphibians. Evolution continued down the line as groups split off to become reptiles, such as dinosaurs. Predatory dinosaurs known as Theropods eventually gave way to birds. The modern chicken is believed to be descended from wild jungle fowl active in South, East, and Southeast Asia. In conclusion, fish, amphibians, and reptiles laid eggs millions of years before the appearance of chickens.

According to Philosophy which comes first egg or chicken?

Our best answer to that question derives from evolutionary biology. The chicken evolved from some previous species of bird which resembled a chicken but wasn't quite a chicken. The first chicken egg would have been laid by another species, which we might call a proto-chicken, therefore the egg came first. For those who prefer a biblical explanation, the chicken would have come first since God (as far as we can tell) initially created animals in their adult forms, not in the form of eggs or other immature forms.


What comes firstthe chicken or the egg?

the chicken. when god created the earth he put animals not eggs. therefore the chicken came firstAnswer:Evolution works in such a way that the traits leading up to "chicken -ness" can be present in both parents without them being (technically) chickens. When they mate the genes can recombine to provide the offspring (in the egg) with all the genes to be a chicken. So the parents are not technically chickens, the embryo is a chicken and grows to be a chicken. The chicken comes first. Yes this means the egg the first chicken comes from is not a chicken's egg. All eggs from the first chicken are then chicken's eggs.


Does an egg come first or an chicken?

The chicken came first. Through the process of evolution, a bird species similar to the chicken gradually evolved into what we now consider a chicken. This means the chicken must have existed before the egg it hatches from.


Dose the egg come first or the chicken?

The egg came first.Because there was some kind of mutation and the chicken was born not in a egg. Then the mutated specie began to have eggs. Then a lot of chicken were born that's how we have chickens now.


What came first chicken all the egg?

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.

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.

which comes first chicken or a 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".
