    the chicken is believed to have come first because in 2010 a group of scientist and researchers in Sheffield and Warwick found a protein that only exist in chicken ovaries. one that is needed in order to make the shell of an egg.

    Evolution happens at conception, not birth, so egg. Closely followed by Easter Bunny WITH a frying pan.

    The chicken. (The fowl)

    Authority: The King James Bible

    And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. Found in the first book of the Bible Genesis 1 verse 20

    Yeah, what bethhyg said. All creatures were created by God so it's safe to believe that He made the first chicken AND THEN they laid eggs when they went forth and multiplied.

    But don't you need a rooster to make an egg? So did the chicken use a rib to make the rooster?

    And this whole thing makes me think of the stir fry I made for dinner.....with my frying pan.

    God made the rooster and the hen at the same time and blessed them and told them to multiply (to have baby chicks)

    Genesis 1:21-22
    And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
    And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

    The egg came first. It was more than likely laid by a bird that mated with another different yet similarly genetic bird to create a chicken. Either that or evolution just happened and that egg that hatched into a chicken came from a bird that was just slightly different enough to not be considered a chicken.

    Evolution people! It's fact and it doesn't necessarily mean there was no God, just that the world has been around a lot longer than a few thousand years.

    The egg predates all birds. Fish, amphibians, reptiles and most invertebrate species (mostly) lay eggs - the more divergent the animal groups are that share a trait, the more ancient that trait is. Thus sexual reproduction via egg laying (vs egg gestation internally) is an ancestral, primitive trait.

    Birds are descendants of the ornithischian dinosaurs (reptiles) which also laid eggs.
