Which came first?
That's easy, the egg.
Insects and fish had them long before dinosaurs and birds had them...

Obviously the egg came first, because dinosaurs layed eggs.

The chicken had to come first since the egg would have had no chicken to incubate it.

Well, assuming a chicken egg is only an egg that is both laid by a chicken and hatches into a chicken, then the chicken would have to have come before the chicken egg.

If we're talking about a chicken egg, then the chicken. If it's any egg... then the egg.

Egg first, because the egg the chicken hatched from had to come from a protochicken.

I know what a protochicken is. It's still not a chicken.

You are all wrong. The chicken is a leftist pinko republican smear campaign against the turkey.
