Didn't they evolve from monkeys?  Oh wait, that was us.

its the chicken which came first\n\negg is the method of reproduction\n\nnow u may say "From where did the chicken come?"\n\nits the course of evolution\n\nfinally\nchicken came first\nand found a method of reprodution\nthat is the EGG

Assuming that the chicken came from an egg. The egg came first. But the egg come from a chicken, so the chicken came first. But, assuming that the chicken came from an egg. The egg came first.

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.

Evolutionary theory seems to point toward the egg being first. All animals on earth mutated and evolved from the first life forms. It's likely that the first chicken as we know it today hatched after eons of genetic mutations and changes.

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

You mean ...what came first...Chicken or Egg...?

People will keep asking this question... (677 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.

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.

Apparently the chicken came first.  Then the eggs.  According to Genesis anyway.

I think the chicken evolved from something else (or God created the chicken), and the chicken was made to then reproduce. And then from the reproduction came the egg. Because you see, a egg can come from a chicken, but an egg cannot be created without a chicken. A chicken can evolve from other animals, but it cannot come from an egg originally.

Putting arguments of a religious nature to one side... Darwinian evolution would say that that which we call a chicken (due to its unique genetic code) would have come from an egg laid by an animal almost a chicken but genetically slightly different. The theory being that a random genetic variation in the DNA of the offspring made it differ from its parent enough to be a different spicies, ie the first chicken. If this is the case, and science supports the theory, then we have a choice to answer your question. We can say that the first chicken egg was laid by a non chicken (the egg came first) or the first chicken came from a non chicken egg (the chicken came first).

Which came first - the chicken or the egg? \n\n"The chicken" came first - in the sentence of the question. If the question is phrased differently, the answer is different.\n\n!

Well, if we're going by the Theory of Evolution, the egg.  As the chicken's ancestors were slowly evolving to the current form of chicken, the last one who's DNA was  99.9999999999999999999% similar to the modern chicken layed an egg which contained 100% chicken.  So, the egg came first.

Chicken. There was some bird that was not a chicken which was the first to evolve into a chicken. Thus the first true chicken occured before any true chicken eggs appeared.

The egg came first, from something that was close to, but not quite a chicken. What came out of the egg was a mutation, also known as the first chicken, or at least close to one. Since it was able to successfully breed, its mutated genes were passed on, and much later on, chickens were able to dominate, while their earlier ancestors became extinct...
