Surely the chicken must have come first. I feel that a creature before the chicken must have evolved slightly, creating a egg laying animal. This is because when I turn the question around I see that the egg must have come from somewhere - right?!

Professor Brooke added the debate could finally be laid to rest.

I guess the egg, as any sort of large-scale genetic change comes in stages, and as animals change and adapt, genes would, so if two animals of certain characteristics bred and created a slightly different animal, the slightly different animal would appear in an egg (Ok, this is chicken and egg, but I'm using "animal" for theory's sake), and would be born from one, so in theory the first "Chicken" or "Bird with a slightly different beak, comb, feet than before" would be born from an egg, so that something that's not instantly recognisable as a chicken would need to be born, from an egg, and not be there in the first place, as a result of genetics and so on?

By the way, I have no knowledge of this sort of thing and am just patching together ideas... I got BB on GCSE Dual Science and left it there, as it was my joint-lowest grade along with a B in Maths!

Yer, someone else said the egg about this... Basically because chickens MUST come from eggs (something to do with, genetically, that's how they're born), but something else could lay an egg that was slightly mutated to form a chicken... Or two things that were sexually compatable could do the dirty, and end up laying a chicken egg (ie. the chicken would've been the 'cross' between the two other things).

If either of these are scientifically wrong, don't blame me, I'm basing them on some conversation I vaguely recall (and was probably had either down the pub or over drinks of some kind...)
