So, at one point the evolutionary predecesssor of the chicken must have laid a chicken egg. I respect your right to choose where you die though.
Honestly, I was just joking. For me this is more like the ship of Theseus showing that there is no such thing as a first chicken or a first egg.
Though eggs predate the chicken by several hundreds of million of years.
It's implied that it's about chicken eggs
where
Which came first:
If the definite article is used then it should be clear from the physical or literal context eggsactly which chicken and which egg are the subjects. This makes the answer a simple matter of asking each for its birth certificate.
If the question has been taken out of context or misquoted - and is now meaningless - well that's just typical sloppy journalism.
