Well, this is a very interesting question. To answer it, we must go back to the beginning. As we know, the chicken comes from the egg. And the egg comes from the chicken. If we assume that there is a higher power, then the chicken comes first because the higher power would’ve created a chicken to deposit an egg upon the barren waste land that is earth.
However, if we don’t believe in a higher power, which would make you an atheist, then we would most likely examine this question scientifically. Taking account of the fact that chickens come from eggs, we could say that the egg came first. That is, until the fact that the chicken lays the egg is accounted for. If we don’t take said chicken into consideration, we could say that the egg sprung up from the ground. However dirt cannot reproduce, so we would call ourselves idiots for simply entertaining the very notion that eggs can come from the ground.
But another fact that we did not take into account is the chicken’s seedy diet. Since chickens eat seeds, we could say that some of the nutrients from the seeds a chicken eats can contribute towards the production of the eggs. Therefore those of us who face palmed ourselves because we are idiots for entertaining the notion that the eggs can come from the ground could gloat in the faces of the non-believer species. Why? Because chickens eat seedy foods and seeds are in the ground.
In short the question of if the chicken or the egg was the first to exist is not a question of logic, but a question of religion. The question has two possible answers, depending on if you are religious or not. Therefore there is no right or wrong answer to this question and the guy who started the trend of asking the question should be, henceforth, slapped in the face twenty times because he didn’t know that there were two possible answers instead of just one. You’re welcome.

The answer avoids answering the critical question. Don’t focus on the chicken. It doesn’t matter that, using an evolutionary model, the first chicken egg came from a non-chicken. What is being asked, philosophically, is what happened first, did a fowl, any fowl, lay and egg, or was the first fowl hatched from the egg? Back up through all evolutionary models – at some point in time, there had to be an animal that hatched an egg. Where did that first egg dropping animal come from? Simple question.

If what you mean by chicken is an organism that can mate with the general population of what we call chickens now, then it’s far more probable that the egg came first. But evolution doesn’t happen overnight, and I would say that if we saw one, we would term even a non-compatible ancestor a chicken.

The egg came first, and it was laid by a VERY chicken like creature. Evolution happens on the generational level, therefore the fist “egg containing a chicken” was laid by a creature that was 99.99% chicken..

Check out the conclusion from scientists of two leading universities in the UK.

You should wake up and start believing in our awesome God, Yeshua, as the wheels of the theory of evolution continue to crumble.
