I'll go the opposite way and say that the chicken came first .After all, you need the warmth of the chicken to hatch an egg (I think )

Well if one belives in evolution - I'd say the a "proto"-chicken(or any animal the lays eggs, actually) would evolve from some kind of amoebe(sp?) - and then due to natures selection find it better to lay eggs instead of live offspring - so actually I would say the chicken(or the proto-chiken) lay the egg first.
A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is lying back smoking a cigarette with a contended look on his face. The egg, looking rather angry, says "well I guess we just answered *that* question"
I don't need this, I've got a masters degree in folklore and mythology
Cartoon Law III
Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter. Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the speciality of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout-perfect hole. The threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyzes this reaction.
I have to say that evolution seems the simplest way to explain this. Like Xan says, maybe it evolved from an Amoebe and a chicken emerged from other evolution etc.
Either that or the chickens came from outerspace....

True or chickens could have evolved into ducks.
Then they could be from mars after all.
