Which came first, the chicken or the egg? I would say the egg. The modern chicken is generally believed to be a descendant of Archaeopteryx, the oldest known bird. This 150 million year old resident of the Jurassic period laid eggs, and at some point evolved into an animal that was one generation away from being a proper chicken. This creature would have produced the egg out of which the first chicken emerged. Therefore, the egg came first.
