I started reading the Darwin book. Do you believe that the egg came first or the chicken came first?

Neither- as someone has already mentioned, the chicken is a product of thousands of years of evolution. Technically, if you went back and found the exact point that the species we now recognise as a chicken actually became a chicken, the answer would be egg. However, I doubt that definitions of "chicken" are advanced enough to pinpoint the exact time that chickens were chickens, and not what they had been before they were chickens, as they would have evolved so slowly.

Hello, I think the Hen comes first. This is a question that have been asked by many as tricky one, I didn't try to think until just now I've asked the same to myself, and then I came to an answer... Eggs are not hatched without a mother hen to sit in them for 21 days.What do you think? There were no incubator yet before and so incubator should not be the answer. Hehe Happy mylotting

If you believe Darwin, the chicken started out as a lizard who was a fish before that, now all of those have eggs, so you're back to the samae old questions. Have fun

Hello lore, This tricky question has been asked by many and seems that there is always no good answer or say logical answer hehe. But I've been thinking a while ago over this question and I came to this, I think it's the hen... You see how can an egg be hatched without a mother hen to sit for 21 days ? Don't you think it right? haha. say am wrong Happy mylotting
