Which came first? The chicken or the egg?

I say egg.

 

rooster.

 

Well, I never was into animal husbandry, but doesn't a chicken have to come first? :mrgreen:

 

Beat me to it again! :x

 

:jester:

 

Actually, I believe God made the chicken the first. It makes sense because He made Adam a man, not a baby. Why wouldn't he have made the chicken first?!8)

 

:lol:

 

Yeah, Rooster!!! Good point!

 

You're right on target.

 

Never thought of it that way! Hmmm!

 

Chicken...God created animals, not eggs...

 

From the evolutionary perspective, the egg came first. The current Gallus gallus species mutation (our domestic chickens are Gallus gallus domesticus) hatched from an egg belonging to the predecessor species. Thus the egg predates the modern chicken.

 

:iagree: At least 2 chickens!

 

Right, male and female he created them. Or, as the first-grader said, I can picture God creating a chicken, but can you picture God laying an egg?

 

The egg containing the chicken came from the species just preceding the modern chicken.

 

The now extinct dodo bird would be my guess.

 

:iagree:

 

Must be extinct because it tasted like chicken

 

Which came first? The chicken or the egg?

A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile on its face and the egg is frowning and looking a bit ****ed off. The egg mutters, to no-one in particular, "Well, I guess we answered THAT question!"
