What come first the chicken or the egg

Chicken

egg

It's one of those unanswered questions that we'll never know the answer to. Good question!!!

I say chicken and dont jump down on me b/c im answering it this way but god created animals when he created the world, it diesn mention the egg, so id say the chicken came first and god put the instinct in it to lay eggs

I think egg.
I believe before there were chickens, they used to be something else. Maybe they could fly back then.

this isn't impossibel 2 answer, just got to thinkhard. the egg came 1st cause female organisms have egg inside em like animals or people, before the chicken, there had to be some other animal that gives birth. think sex education (ugh) .=D

Eggs evolved much sooner than chickens, but you probably mean chicken eggs. In that case, it would depend on your definition of a chicken egg.

Because evolution and animal husbandry rely on a series of small changes between generations, it's hard to say exactly what would qualify as a chicken and what would only qualify as a chicken-like ancestor, but it really doesn't matter where you draw the line. At some point in their evolution, some chicken-like birds not matching your definition of a chicken would have laid eggs containing birds matching your definition of a chicken.

If you define a chicken egg as an egg containing a chicken, these eggs would be chicken eggs, and the egg would have come first. If you define chicken eggs as eggs laid by chickens, these first chickens would have come first, and their eggs only when they reached maturity.

        i hope you do not take offense,
        To that that comes hereafter;
        'Tis only that it's my two-cents,
        Not one penny more thereafter. §;o)

"Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

The egg
.
It was laid by the female of a species. During its development it developed one or more evolutionary traits that started its distinctiveness as being a little different from the creature that laid it.

Those traits aided in its survival and growth and were therefor passed on to future generations.

Future generations kept evolving with additional survival traits until eventually the complete chicken had evolved.

But it still had to come from an egg, so the egg came first!
