This is an old puzzle, which one came first, chicken or eggs? and why?

I've answered the exact same question before. The egg came first because there were dinosaur eggs before there were chickens. If you specifically mean chicken eggs, I'd say the chicken because:\nBible version: God made all the animals. He made 2 adult humans first so I guess he would have made the adult animals first too.\nEvolution version: Whatever the chicken was supposed to be evolved from, had an egg of it's own which came out as a chicken, only then were there chicken eggs because there hadn't been chickens to lay the eggs.

this question has been asked many times, not just throughout time but also many times just here on yahoo answers.  i say "egg"... for a thorough explanation you can look up my answers.\n\ni just find it very interesting that when asked in the "pets" forum, most people say something religious to support their claim that chickens came first, and on the "science" forum, more people say "egg" and support their claim with "science has proved...."\n\nmeh, science never really proves anything... but this one just requires a little thought about the true nature of the question.  it would be a little more difficult to answer if it was "which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg?"  but no one ever asks that question, so we're all safe.  whew.  :)

The chick is hatched before it becomes a hen, just as a person is a baby before he or she is an adult. I wonder if you meant to ask "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" I believe the chicken came first because it was created by God.

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

egg then chick then hen.\nThe Hen that laid the egg which developed into the species we now call the domestic chicken was slightly different from our chicken. Hence the egg came first!\n\nJ

both. if you didn't have the chicken, how do you get the egg?

Scientifically speaking, the egg must have come first because there was a non-chicken animal that evolved into a chicken, and the only way for that non-chicken animal to have evolved into a chicken is if there was a mutation during meiosis (reproduction). So the non-chicken animal would have laid an egg which became a chicken.

The egg must have come first.\nLiving things evolve through changes in their DNA. The chicken evolved from the non-chicken through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote. Prior to that first true chicken zygote, there were only non-chickens.\nSo the egg came first.

We don't actually know. If the chicken came first, an egg was needed to hatch into that chicken in the first place. If the egg came first, a chicken would be needed to hatch an egg. There is no definite answer (yet anyway).

The Chicken.  the chicken was created by God's power.  The egg came second, from the first Chicken.

The Chicken came first. :)

In evolutionary terms, a chicken was first hatched from an egg of a slightly different animal.  Therefore, the egg came first.

Reptiles were laying shelled eggs for millions of years before some of them evolved into birds - and chickens came even later than that. So, by the time the first chicken laid the first chicken egg, eggs were already ancient. If your question is supposed to pertain only to chicken eggs, then obviously a species and its reproductive cells evolve simultaneously. Neither of them can exist before the other.

Its obviously the egg.\nlet me explain. If we embrace the evolution theory, and we have no reason not to, then we can assume that each species evolved from some ancient ancestor. the chicken, as we know it today has evolved from some other bird. this bird was probably very similar to chicken but at some point in history it layed an egg that carried the mutation that became later - chicken.\nyou can ask - why isn't the egg evolved from something else? well, it actually has. BUT an egg is an egg no matter how it looks like or whats in it - it can cary achicken an owl or a snake. you still call it an egg.\n\nthis is why my short answer is : the Egg.

the chicken came first becuse the origin is the living thing's,so if the egg come befor there is No one going to hatch it .

The Chicken/hen came first.\n\nGenesis 1:20  And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
