Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

[J.C.MacSwell]

Even the first of what we would arbitrarily deem a chicken egg came before the chicken. It may have even been eaten by a predator and never turned into a chicken...assuming it was even fertilized in the first place.

And, later, the first chicken had to come from a chicken egg.

Your thinking is a little scrambled.

Egg, the egg came first. Every time I hear this problem it never specifies chicken egg, it just says egg. Which leads to a very simple solution; do chickens predate dinosaurs? No. Did dinosaurs come from eggs? Yes. Therefore the egg not only came first but came countless times before the chicken. 

Hopefully my answer eggceeds eggspectations.

Some audiences would give it a standing ovulation.
