Which came first?

I'm gonna say both because the egg would've had to been fertilized in order for a chick to hatch, and the chicken would have to have the ability to make eggs or fertilize them.

I think it was an egg laid by a turkey or something that morphed into a chicken.

What Joe said.

I think chickens are domesticated versions of something really cool. With talons.

[PadrePioOfPietrelcino]

I said the chicken, because.
1) if the egg just mutated into the chicken then there would be a long process of mutations before it finished and at what point would it be a chicken vs. a primative chicken, and if there was a primative chicken wouldn't it still be a chicken?

2) If the egg was first who sat on the egg

3) Can't be both because even if a chicken was created a fertilized egg biologically couldn't be fertilized at the same time.

But it doesn't matter, because the Phenomonolist Philosopher think a checken is just a bunch of sense data anyway

The Chicken of course.

Then again, I'm a creationist.
