The egg, egg cells have been around for millions of years.
If you meant "chicken or chicken egg" then the egg, layed by a species that was not at that point classified as a chicken, but an extremely closely related 'transition species', most likely a subspecies of something else.
Thing is, humans with scientfific taxonomy werent around back then to actually witness the evolution of the chicken, but that's probably how it would have gone if we were, probably using DNA sequenses to determine the transition species.
Lol.

i've always said egg.
My reason is some strange bird laid an egg, in this egg was a mutant bird. this bred, more mutants ect this became the chicken.

lol good question!
i would say the Egg, in the literal sense. dinosaur's were laying eggs long before the chicken evolved. but in the case of the chicken, surly it would be the chicken. i assume the first chicken came from an egg laid by its immediate progenitor, ie, not a chicken.

didnt two species of bird hybridise, creating the chicken? Therefore two birds produced the egg, and then the chicken came along.
indeed so. but the bird that layied the egg would not have been a chicken, so its egg would not have been a chicken egg, whatever came out of it. err i assume.

Depends if you class a "chicken egg" is an egg laid by a chicken, or an egg that contains a chicken.

Didnt they think the chickens closest relative was the T-REX
coelurosaurian dinosaurs like the Raptors, and The tyrannosaurs, are the ones that developed into birds, i believe. but it would be a big leap to say T-Rex was their closest relative Archaeopteryx would seem to be that.
and in answer to the question on the egg, No, if the egg were laid by the progenitor of the chicken, even if a chicken came out, it would not be a chicken egg. lol though it would be an egg with a chicken in it!

Trolling the science board? Bad form.was bored at working looking to get in trouble

ahh, but is there a real scientific answer to the question? i would guess there is. Any biologists out there care to join in?

Here to help
If the egg came first, whatever laid it, where did that come from a egg? what about whatever laid that egg? where did that come from? another egg? what about what laid that one? where did that come form? a egg?
hmmmm
Living cells are what everything starts from i think.
Where on earth, yes, earths in the unvierse, yes... whats the universe in? whatever the universe is in, whats that in and so on and so on....
The answer is always a question on life...
