      I’d say the egg. Long before chickens existed, eggs would have been laid (maybe some kind of dinosaur relative). Some of these things kept laying eggs and evolving until, one day, a chicken hatched from an egg that had been laid by a not-quite-chicken. So the chicken’s egg came before the chicken. Probably. 😉

      I agree with Oli 🙂 I say the egg, because I think the mutation had to happen first, but that’s just my opinion.

      I agree with Oli’s logic – the egg!
