Good question. Animals genes do not change during the course of there lives, so any genetic mutations can only occur when the parents genes are being passed down to the offspring, and since birds lay eggs, the first bird that evolved into a chicken also had to come from an egg. Therefore, the egg had to have come before the worlds first chicken. So the answer to the age old question, "Which came first the chicken or the egg?" is...the egg! Hope that helps. :)

Do you mean: Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Many people have different opinions on this question. Some people will say chicken because the eggs can not be made without the chicken and some people will say eggs because the chicken can not be made without the eggs. I don't know if there is a right answer.

I will answer your question based from my point of view. For me, I think hen came first. Here's my 'why'. I think it's because.. God created people and animals, right? I think that "animals" includes chickens in it.. Haha! Is my response useless? Hehe that's what I think.
