I'm saying the chicken.

Clearly the egg though, or else where does the chicken come from????

Stephen Hawking and Christopher Langan argue that the egg came before the chicken, though the real importance of the question has faded since Darwin's "On The Origin Of Species" and the accompanying Theory of Evolution, under which the egg must have come first.
Can you arguee with these men???

The egg obviously 
Pick which one you think:
Only an egg that will hatch into a chicken can be considered a chicken egg: Then a re-consideration of the original question suggests: Some animal other than a chicken laid the first chicken egg which contained the first chicken. In this case the chicken egg came before the chicken. In reality, many scientific theories suggest that this would not have been a simple event. For example, the theory of punctuated equilibrium theorizes that the actual speciation of an organism from its ancestral species is usually the result of many mutations combined with new geographical surroundings, called cladogenesis.
Only an egg laid by a chicken can be considered a chicken egg: Then a re-consideration of the original question suggests: The first chicken (which hatched from a non-chicken egg) laid the first chicken egg. In this case the chicken came before the chicken egg. Again, this would not necessarily be a straightforward event.

The Egg came first because the Egg predates the Chicken. Modern birds (including Poultry) evolved from the Dinosaurs, so Dinosaurs were hatching from Eggs long before the birth of the Chicken.
The real question should be what came first, the Dinosaur or the Egg?
