    Why do stupid people ask this stupid question time after time.

    The answer is egg - Dinosaurs where laying them 150 million years ago.

    In nature, living things evolve through changes in their DNA. In an animal like a chicken, DNA from a male sperm cell and a female ovum meet and combine to form a zygote the first cell of a new baby chicken. This first cell divides innumerable times to form all of the cells of the complete animal. In any animal, every cell contains exactly the same DNA, and that DNA comes from the zygote.

    Chickens evolved from non-chickens through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote. These changes and mutations only have an effect at the point where a new zygote is created. That is, two non-chickens mated and the DNA in their new zygote contained the mutation(s) that produced the first true chicken. That one zygote cell divided to produce the first true chicken.

    Prior to that first true chicken zygote, there were only non-chickens. The zygote cell is the only place where DNA mutations could produce a new animal, and the zygote cell is housed in the chicken's egg. So, the egg must have come first.

    Well if its 'which came first the chicken or the chicken egg' I trhink it could be both. you could take weirdjim's defintion or you could say that it isnt a chicken egg until a chicken lays, so therefore the chicken came first

    So, the chicken and the egg are sitting in bed, having an after-shag fag. The chicken leans back contentedly and says "Well, I guess that answers the question!"

    :D
