The "chicken" would have evolved from a single cells organism which replicated via the process of mitosis. Over the centuries, the organism would have evolved into a multicellular organism which would have reproduced most likely via an asexual mechanism. Centuries later, evolution continues on it's path and the demand for greater genetic variety would have stemmed the more common male/female reproductive mechanism with either an internal or external genital system. IN short, the chicken came first although the species which first laid that egg wouldn't not have been recognizable as a chicken by todays standard. Side: Chicken

To be honest, without a mother or anything to hatch the egg, nevermind feed the damn newborn animal, the standpoint of the 'egg' coming first makes no sense. I don't really care HOW it happened, tbh. goes to KFC Jk. But all this talk of poultry is making me hungry... Side: Chicken

The process came about when either enough mutations, or enough selective breeding happened to cause the next offspring to be what we would now call a chicken. The egg literally would have to have come first unless the first organism to walk on land was already a chicken and it adapted to laying eggs. Side: Egg

According to evolution, there was no first chicken. There is just gradual change, so every creature is the same species as its parent. So some of the other points people have made don't work. I am posting on this side because as a few others have already stated reptiles and fish lay eggs. Thus eggs came about earlier in the evolutionary tree than birds This would mean that the egg came first. Side: Egg
The argument is somewhat flawed, I think what you mean to say is "What came first the chicken or the chicken egg?" well ironically enough the proto-chicken laid the first egg that would later become known or recognized as having the traits of a stereotypical chicken. However the saying can be interpenetrated alternatively as an analogy for evolution, which as the portion of the theory relying on the first collection of molecules to be considered life would be a single organism and therefore a "chicken" Side: Egg
i think the egg came first because when life on earth was just started to form it is said that the amoeba was the first thing to appear , then slowly slowly the bacteria must have gone into a calcium shell and there it undergoes the process of changing into a chick so the egg hatched and the chick came out of the egg...
