What came first, the chicken or the egg?

[matt1111 maestro]

Rhetorical question. You need a chicken to make an egg, but how did the chicken get there? 

I know (Harry Hill) FIGHT!

I just read that scientist have identified a protein found in chicken eggs that is only produced inside a chickens ovaries, wether this means that the first egg came from a chicken or eggs themselves have mutated is another question...

Chickens are widely regarded to have evolved from the early dinosaur Archaeopteryx

*edit

Archaeopteryx laid eggs too

The chicken, I posted a thread last week.. A hen laid a chick without an egg shell & it was healthy but the mother died of internal injuries. This obviously puts a twist on the age-old question of what came first the chicken or the egg. The chicken came first.

The winged dinosaurs according to some paleontologists. If you believe the evolution theory

When I have nothing to do with my cadets (I'm a sea cadet instructor) I ask my cadets to talk about this for 1 min. Some of the things they say about it can be funny. Watching them try and find the answer and out smart the cadet before them. Really gets them thinking.

The egg.

Dinosaurs laid eggs. Millions of years before Chickens evolved.

Now if you ask which came first the Chicken or the Chicken egg...
