Although is impossible to say exactly *when* the ancestors of chickens *became* chickens in their own right, there must, logically, have been one single moment when this occurred, and it would have been at conception. So you could argue that it was the chicken first, because the fertilised egg exists before the hard shell (the 'egg' in the argument) has formed.

You could then argue over the definition of 'egg' as some would say that instant an egg is fertilised, it should be considered a foetus (aka 'chicken' in this case). Others would say that it is a 'fertilised egg', in which case the egg came first.

There were eggs before there were actual chickens so you'd have to assume the egg came first, unless you mean specifically a chicken egg.

Egg had to come first, evolution doesn't change an organism itself, but the changes are passed on genetically to its offspring. So clearly some other creature going through an evolutionary awakening layed the first chicken type egg from which came the first chicken.
That's how I look at it, there are others who believe a mammal could have given birth to an egglaying offspring, the chicken, however I think thats very unlikily for one evolutionary step.
So...

teh egg came0r 1st!

so clearly.. neither the chicken, nor the egg (or even a monket (prolly pete's word for linux)) came first... it was the compiler
