If you take the Bible literally, it would be the chicken!.

If you take evolution, it would be some slime proto-chicken!.

Either way, I'm going with the chicken!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Depends what you mean by 'egg'!.
If you're talking about eggs in general then the egg came hundreds of millions of years before the chicken!.
If you're talking about an egg from which a chicken hatched then the egg came first, with the first chicken egg being laid by a Red Junglefowl which is the bird from which chickens were bred by farmers!. Note that it makes no difference if you believe in creationism, the chicken was a creation of humans just like domestic dogs and seedless watermelons!. Neither God nor natural selection produced the chicken!.
If you're talking about an egg laid by a chicken then the chicken came first, for obvious reasons!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Evolutionarily speaking, it would be the egg!.

As the chicken predecessor evolved into the chicken, there was one final almost-but-not-quite chicken!.

Every being's offspring inherits its parent's genes, but often carries new mutations as well (for example, a human carries about 100 very minor mutations, almost always ones that have no effect, that its parents did not have!.)

This "quasi-chicken's" offspring carried just the right mutation that made it a "full chicken!." Since this new "full chicken" hatched from an egg, the egg came first!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They both came at the exact same time!. The first chicken was really a pregnant chicken! (Cue crazy Twilight Zone music!.) Upon coming to earth, she laid her first egg!. Then she spontaneously combusted!. The heat from her buring body incubated the egg, and it hatched!. But somehow the genetics got messed up, and both a chicken and a rooster hatched from the same egg!. And that is the beginning of the chicken/rooster race!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Bible said God created Adam and Eve the very first parents!. Then they reproduced and people inhabited the earth!.Your mom was right, if the egg came first it has no parent to incubate it, it will not hatch!. So the chicken came first!. Its the same question as to who came first, Adam and Eve or the sperm and egg cell!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

the chicken because single celled organisms came way before eggs!. therefore the chicken adapted to laying eggs due to circumstances of survival!. as time passed on eggs as a result of evolution became the norm!.

i am more scientific than religious!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Um, single celled organisms may have come first!. They reproduce by splitting!. Which came first, the identical cell or the other identical cell!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it was the chicken because an egg on its own would not have made it on its own!. And once it hatched, who would have cared for it and such!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The chicken and rooster made eggs,!.!.!.

According to the Bible, animals reproduce after their kind,!.!.

Like Adam and Eve made babies also!.!.!.!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

The chicken came first!. God created all living things!. Then he commanded that they reproduce!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
