Egg.

The ancestor before chickens would have laid an egg containing a chicken as we know them now due to evolution.

Juels- Great answer! Glad someone put that down! (I just got here myself! LOL)

Aristotle said “The chicken is an actual chicken, the egg is a potential chicken. Since actuality precedes potentiality, the chicken came first.”

Of course, with either of those answers, one assumes the egg in question is in fact, a chicken egg.

The egg came first. Chickens evolved from lizards which were laying eggs too. Lazards were laying eggs for millions of years before chickens. So the egg came millions of years before chickens.

Eggs came first. They were eggs of crustaceans. But they were eggs. Millions of years later Chickens evolved.

The egg, I don’t think a chicken would just ‘appear’ out of no where.

Alphabetically, C comes before E, therefore Chicken comes before Egg, but culinarily (if thats a word) you eat eggs normally for breakfast, but chicken isn’t eaten until lunch and or dinner.

It depends on how you look at it.
