Which came first chicken or egg?
Species evolve over time, and thus chickens had ancestors that were not chickens.
The first amniote egg—that is, a hard-shelled egg that could be laid on land, rather than remaining in water like the eggs of fish or amphibians—appeared around 312 million years ago. In contrast, chickens are domesticated descendants of red junglefowl and probably arose little more than eight thousand years ago, at most.
If the question refers to chicken eggs specifically, the answer is still the egg, but the explanation is more complicated.
In conclusion, the egg came first.
