Who came first, the egg or the chicken?

The egg came first. Chickens, like all birds, are descendants of reptiles. In other words, very old reptiles, which don't even exist anymore, were reproducing and spawned different offspring that reproduced and spawned even more different offspring. In this way, after millions of years, they originated the different birds, the chicken being one of them.

Reptiles lay eggs and birds that descend from them also lay eggs, as they inherited this characteristic. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that the egg appeared before the chicken.

The egg has existed in evolutionary history for many millions of years, long before even fish, which also lay eggs and emerged before reptiles. However, fish eggs do not have a hard shell like chicken eggs.
