I think the egg came first because in order for the chicken to even exist and evolve to its current state, it would need to be first hatch only BY THEN it becomes the famous clucking bird we know and love.

Checkmate chicken-ists your move?

    The egg… laid by a bird that wasn’t a chicken

    Neil D Tyson

    The explanation goes as follows:

    Since any offspring is never going to be 100% genetically similar to its parent, eventually an offsprings genome will mutate into what we humans would classify as a chicken within our “scientific” definitions.

    Imo the concept of a chicken is an illusion. It’s a bird thing that I can eat, and sometimes they’re really nice and lay eggs, that’s what a chicken is.
