What came first....the chicken or the egg?
The egg thread got me thinking. What ame first, the chicken or the egg? I say the chicken since something had to lay the egg....then again, the egg could have been laid by something and due to some freak of nature the chicken evolved....

Joke i read somewhere...
A chicken and egg were laying in bed. The egg was smoking a cigarette and looking really relaxed, while the chicken kept rustling and was very frustrated.
I guess that answers that age old question...

Well here's what historians believe. Chicken was basically a mutation of another type of bird or similar, that thing laid an egg which hatched the first chicken (a mutation of its kind), evolution. The chicken reproduce and created more chickens by laying eggs.
So by theory the egg came first. But you can also claim that the chicken came first since the first egg is none chicken. So the first chicken laid more eggs.

I say neither! When you see a chicken laying an egg you're looking at the end product of a very, very long chain of small steps, so there's no point in time where one moment there was no such thing as a chicken/egg, then suddenly there was.
