The egg came first as the evolution from the reptilian species (say a crocodile for example) occurred in the egg which spawned the chicken (and as we all know birds evolved from reptiles, he humble sparrow evolved from as T-Rex, BWAHAHAHA THIS IS HIS GIRLFRIEND!!! TWAS DA CHICKEN THAT CAME FIRST!!!! NYAAAAAAAA!!!

It's the egg because mutation takes place during pregnancy so something that wasn't a chicken laid an egg that mutated and a chicken came from it. Naturally this would have been trigerred by natural factors around this species so more than one animal laid an egg that also mutated into chickens and a species was born.

THE EEG!

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!

I can't believe this has actually become a semi-serious discussion.

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.

I ate eggs before Chicken.

Also, i don't think its possible for the egg to have "came", only the male chicken could have done that.... (ho ho ho)

Dinosaurs layed eggs way before chickens came along, so the egg was first.

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.

The thing everyone assumes, is that the first chicken has to come from an 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.
