See. My theory is that they evolved from lizards and the sort who laid eggs, and eventually became chickens, so the egg came millions of years before the chicken.
As for where the lizards came from... An egg of course.
Rargh... People may have said it first, but i only read the post before this!

But where did that chicken come from? An egg. It came from an egg. The egg came first. You can't have a chicken that didn't come from an egg.
Sheesh.

Becuase birds evolved from reptiles, who give birth via eggs. All chickens are born from eggs, if a chicken was born like a mammal it wouldn't be a chicken but a completely different species.
So the earliest chickens came from eggs.
Simple.
Also, i don't think its possible for the egg to have "came", only the male chicken could have done that.... (ho ho ho)
If you mean specifically a chickens egg then obviously the chicken had to lay such an egg so the chicken would come first.
Here the chicken would no doubt have evolved from another type of bird which may not have been a "chicken" so the egg would not be a "chicken" egg.
Why? Why couldn't it be born in the same way as most mammals are? Maybe at some point a genetic anomoly occured whereby further generations of chickens were born from eggs.
