I think the egg cam first, maybe it's not a CHICKEN-egg, but an egg from a bird or a reptile or something.
If you mean, which came first, the egg or the chicken-egg, then you must indeed clarify 'chicken-egg'.
If you mean a egg containing a chicken, the egg was first, and then in the egg came a chicken. The egg was laid by another animal what was evolued to an animal which was nearly a chicken, and in the egg the animal was evolued to a chicken.
But if you mean that the egg must be laid by a chicken, the devinition says so: the chicken is first...
everyone here is wrong in my opinion either because of the answer or the reasons.
which came first: the chicken? or the egg?
my answer is the egg- dinosaurs laid eggs too! whoever said it had to be the choice between a chicken and a chicken egg? dinosaurs were around before chickens

It doesn't say that a chicken was in the egg, so it could be a snake egg, or another type of egg, not a chicken egg....

Tell me exactly WHICH chicken and WHICH egg we're talking about, and I'll give you the answer. If we're talking about the one chicken and one egg you have in your fridge, well, judging by the smell they're both past their use by date.
If you want to rephrase your question so that I know which chicken is THE chicken, we'll take it from there.
