I CAN answer the question "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" The question does not specify that the eggs were chicken eggs. Reptiles lay eggs too. Reptiles were around laying eggs long before chickens ever set foot on this planet. So you can conclude that the egg came first. :-D

What came first; the reptile or the egg? :)

Theres actually a better way to solve it. Chickens are constantly evolving like every other creature, and the latest chicken must have started out as an egg.

Nice bit of logic there.

Good workaround on the classic riddle.

It would only be un-sovleable if it were too specific. Also it would become irrelevant lol

OH, ok...

Personally, I always liked the response that I got from a Pasteur. "Its obvious that the Chicken came first! I just cant picture God sitting on a pair of eggs waiting for them to hatch."

this doesn't work i will answer all you're questions eggs are chicks but not yet hatched while the ones in the store haven't even been fertilized.

Of course it worked! Who doesn't breed eggs?!? (Listen, you can hear sarcasm in the air.)

wow "(or three if your freaky naughty)" nice. i tried to breed an egg and something is wrong. the baby just sits there and says the letter "g" repetitively. i think it's missing a few chromosomes...

Father Christmas in reply to fransch3Jan 30, 2010. 6:19 PM
 =O    You should NEVER say "cracked" around an egg. It gives them the heebiejeebies.

The egg came first, a slight 'mutation' of its parents, several generations later, a final 'mutation' produced the chicken. .. I guess it all stops at the point in evolution (!) that you want to call the bird you have, a chicken, with that in mind, evolution is still producing a slightly different bird each time, so really, none came first, they are not, by the smallest of evolutionary terms, the same thing... that's how I see it anyway. lol.
Mr. Smart Kid in reply to Daddio_UKDec 13, 2009. 6:27 PM
not the chicken or the egg came first, the Wild Red Jungle Fowl came first :-)
Mr. Smart Kid in reply to Mr. Smart KidDec 13, 2009. 6:29 PM

Did you know eggs can climb pretty well ? - At least MINE scrambled quite nicely.
and7barton says: May 11, 2009. 8:34 AM
For your information - The EGG came before the chicken. Remember DINOSAUR eggs ?

Unfortunately, Adult eggs are notorious for eating their young so you only have a short time span before they're gone. That is why you probably will never see baby eggs along side the adult eggs.
spock155 (author) in reply to bigwhitebear18Feb 16, 2009. 8:42 AM
Eek! I'll spread the word!
johnjoejohn1 in reply to spock155Feb 20, 2009. 5:01 PM

gmjhowe in reply to peguionoFeb 18, 2009. 5:56 AM
Agreed, except the rocks one was done better.
spock155 (author) in reply to peguionoFeb 16, 2009. 8:42 AM
Ja ja, but did I tell you how to breed rocks? No, I didn't. I didn't use relatively anything alike to how to breed rocks... Or did I.......?
