Which came first between the chicken or the egg? I say, the chicken!

While I agree with your logic of the chicken being first, I would interpret the question differently. I think the egg refers to the baby chicken not the the first chicken egg that was laid. And one could argue that while the egg did not come from a chicken, it housed a chicken so it could be considered a chicken egg. So I always say the egg come first because the non-chicken who gave birth to the first chicken, laid an egg which contained the first chicken.

This is always open for different interpretations. In my opinion if the egg didn’t come from a chicken it isnt a chicken even if the being inside ends up being a chicken because of mutations.

For me a chicken egg is an egg made by a chicken.
