If you're religious, the chicken... God placed a pregnant chicken on the land and it made an egg and mated with its offspring to produce the dumb cluckers that we eat and enjoy so much protein from.
Others would say the egg, because a chicken has to be formed in an egg. I suppose I'd go with the egg, because a chicken can't just show up out of thin air. Nor really could an egg. Since the chicken is probably a product of evolution, technically probably the egg came first, that is, the first eggs to actually contain chicken-like birds.
But it's like asking what came first, the human or the fetus... well, technically the fetus... it's a matter of how it got to that point.
Yeah yeah, taking it to seriously.
