What came first the Chicken, Rooster or the egg??
Could be a scientific, theological or just funny answer.
The chicken. It's a bird. Part of the definition of a bird is egg-laying (not "hatched from egg"). So the first chicken was that which meets other criteria for chicken-hood and also laid an egg.
Reproductively, little is known about hen orgasms, but randy roosters are legendary, so the odds are good that he came first (and promptly fell asleep). It didn't matter to the egg one way or another.
David Papineau, John Brookfield, Charles Bourns and others who suggest the egg came first are wrong. (E.g., Brookfield wrongly assumes that the first bird to fulfil our criteria for being a chicken must have been born from an egg -- but there is no reason to assume this. It could have been live-born, but with a genetic mutation that led it and its offspring to lay eggs.)
