I really don't know...But in the bible "God"made \ntwo of everything"Noahs Ark"So therefore a rooster \nand chicken was in the picture first.Even without this ,I say the "Chicken"came first..Th rooster is \nkind of obsolete {unless you want chicks)because a chicken can lay an egg without a rooster.(although its infertile)But chickens lay eggs better with atleast one rooster to ten or twelve chickens.\nOf course I theorize that the chicken came first.

The Rooster !\nWithout the Rooster, no chicken is going to lay no egg !!

the hen came first because God made the animal and the animal layed the egg...that'a my theory :)

the egg, because before hens existed there were proto-hens that laid eggs as well. One day one of those proto-hens evolved and the first hen was born.

The chicken because God created all of the animals first.  The egg came shortly after. :D

People will keep asking this question... (681 times and counting)\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=ArqSG_s0jG4ok1r1mx8sEIIjzKIX?p=chicken+or+the+egg\n\nHere's my answer, cut and paste from my answer to the same question asked the other day:\n\nThere were eggs long before chickens.\n\nDinosaurs laid eggs, for example, and birds evolved from dinosaurs.\n\nGuess what, a chicken is a bird.\n\nWhatever bird chickens evolved from laid eggs, so wherever you draw the line in the sand and say "here was the first chicken", well, that chicken had a mother who laid the egg.\n\nEggs came before chickens.

generally speaking in agriculture, there are two types of chickens: broilers and layers. A broiler is a chicken used for meat production.  A layer is used for egg production.

This seems like a facetious question, but here's a whack at an actual answer. The Egg. Here's why: the actual chicken genus and species is for sure derived from a common ancestor with other birds and fowl, diverging through genetic (and morphological) changes over time. At some point, the "ancestor chicken" produced an offspring that would for all intents and purposes be insdistinguishable from what we now know as a "chicken" but was the offspring of a demonstrably different (but probably very similar) animal.

The egg, no doubt about it.\n\nA chicken is only a clever mean of transportation and reproduction used by and egg.\n\nYou see in early days when life was beginning - in a pond. The being called egg was like an amoeba - a jelly like thing. When earth started to solidify the ponds started to dry up. Now what this thing called egg would do? Either somehow survive the dry periods or die a miserable death. Obviously it did not choose to die so it did something very clever. It formed a shell around it to keep moisture and other content inside. And when pond would filled up with water this shell would dissolve and so on. Now dry periods started to get longer and longer. There therefore was no other option for the egg other than to be able to leave the pond and find a new one. So over the ages it hatched out a detailed plan that would enable it to move around and stay alive and dry as well. That plan eventually took a form that today we know as a chicken. \nMoral of the story: Eat the chicken but remember the egg and the difficulties it faced to get the meat to your wasteful dinner table.

The egg. In general - eggs of various species- insects, dinosaurs, etc.  had been around LONG before chickens evolved.

Interesting fact.  God did NOT create chickens!  They are a human creation.  A hybrid of 2 other types of birds.  They wanted to be able to combine the tastiness of one bird with the domesticability of another, and voila, they got a chicken.

None of the two. First it was the rooster then the chicken and the the egg!!!!!!
