I fool-proofed the question..."Which came first, the egg of a chicken, or the chicken?". And you can't say they use eggs in dinosaur shaped pasta. /s
In that case the chicken came first, regardless of how we define "chicken", we can reuse that definition for the first "chicken egg" it laid.
But how do we define a "chicken egg"? Is it an egg containing a chicken, or an egg that's been laid by a chicken?
Good point. Now I'm less sure.
I guess any "egg containing a chicken" came first, by definition. I don't think I would accept anything that didn't come from an egg as my canonical first chicken, anyway.
