if you said egg you are all wrong. the chicken came first because the egg would die without the chicken. it would get eaten or it would never hatch. therefore if the egg did come first there would be no chicken to debate over today. THE ANSWER IS CHICKEN.

I don't follow.
Proto-chicken => egg => chicken
You can see the egg came before the chicken.
This is what i believe anyway but it still leaces a very vague answer to the question. It is a tricky one indeed.

The chicken came first. Check the link for the evidence 🙂 http://www.improbable.com/airchives/paperair/volume9/v9i4/chicken_egg.html
I think we need to do some sexual trials involving chicken and egg and wires attached to weird machines...
