This supposedly paradoxical question is commonly mistaken as having no real answer, but the answer is this:
When two birds (here, chickens) mate, they produce an egg; in this case containing a chick that is genetically different from the parents. Although it is extremely rarely (if ever) possible to pinpoint the evolution of a new trait to a particular individual/generation (and definitely not possible to pinpoint the moment of speciation), there must have been some period over which "chicken-like bird" evolved into "chicken". Although this is not a moment we could ever wish to identify on a family-tree, what is certain is that as the genetic lineage crossed the boundary into "chicken-ness", that particular individual began its life inside an egg. Therefore, the creature that is genetically known as a 'chicken' first came from an egg.
Another view (you might think I'm cheating here) is that creatures were laying (non-chicken) eggs many millions of years before chickens came into existance.
Either way, the egg came first
...Or, if you're a creationist, you might prefer something more along these lines:
"However, some may say "WHAT???? If two "birds" mate they have a chicken? Two dogs dont have a cat!! Why would to birds be genetically different, mate and end up with a chicken? HERE IS AN IDEA...How about two chickens mate and the egg turns out to be a chicken!!! God made the animals first...then as they say the rest is history."

The chicken.! the chicken made an egg so 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.
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.

What in the two come first chicken or egg?
The concept of the chicken and egg dilemma is a philosophical question about the origins of things. In biological terms, eggs existed long before chickens, as they are a common reproductive strategy across many species. Therefore, eggs would have come first.
Which is first born egg or chicken?
Depends on your beliefs. If you believe in evolution, it was the egg, because the "fully evolved" chicken would come from the egg. But if you believe in creation, the chicken came first, because God created the chicken first.
What came first th chicken or the egg?
The egg, of course. Since chickens evolved from dinosaurs, the chicken would have had to have been an offspring of a dinosaur and, therefore, come from an egg.
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.
Do the chicken come before the egg?
The Lord made ALL creatures. So the CHICKEN came FIRST.
