[QUOTE="Deleted member 103481, post: 1649204"] Modern chickens originated from various different breeds of junglefowl. Most notable is Gallus gallus, the red junglefowl. While narrowing this down is actually quite complicated their artificial selection by humans means that the chicken itself was created from various species of junglefowl by people. While it would be easy to say there ya go, the first true chicken was created from domesticated breeding of the jungle fowl means chicken was first, that neglects the egg that chicken hatched from. While that egg was laid by a junglefowl-ish (selective breeding would mean a large grey area here not one species doesn’t just become another in a generation) bird it also means that that first chickens egg before it hatch had a flat out, full bore chicken in it. So, it must be a chicken egg. Even if a not quite totally chicken laid it. Egg came first [/QUOTE]
