The egg came first. Inspite of the fact that this question is supposed to pose a paradox, in evolutionary terms it had to be the egg.
Whatever was before the chicken in the evolutionary chain - whatever it was - was not a chicken.
Then the process of reproduction threw up a little contadiction, as it does from time to time, which has allowed all species to evolve from what they were to what they are now. So, the change happened in the egg. It happened when the fertilisation took place and there was the intermingling of genes.
Sorry to break your paradox but it had to be the egg that came first. The creature before the chicken was probably very close to being one. Let's call it a chickosaurus. Then in one egg was a mutation. That mutation became a chicken and the mutation continued to exist because it was a successful development in that bird.

This is a quandry that has puzzled man kind for many years. A chicken needs an egg to grow from and an egg needs a chicken to grow from. When I was a boy, my friend Eric would ask me this sometimes when I claimed to be bored and I would sit and think about it.
Well, Eric, all these years later, I have some real thoughts on the matter.
The egg came first AND the chicken came first, but only through the help of another creature. You see, I believe that the chicken evolved naturally over a process of many years from one animal, don't ask me which, you'll think I'm insane into a chicken. So it is possible for a chicken to slowly have emerged and evolved, the chicken changed each evolution and was reborn via an egg, until finally it came to be a chicken as we know it now (still evolving I shouldn't wonder).

I think the egg came first and not the chicken. But no one really knows for sure which actually came first, because neither is easy to explain.

If you are an agriculturist, you believe in seed as the first entity and hence the egg was definitely the first entity. If you are a vetenarian, you believe in animals as the first entity and so the hen was the first entity. So, the answer to this question depends on the person who raises it.

The chicken had to have come first. Just as God created man and woman and then the offspring came from fertilized eggs, the chicken was created and produced their offspring from the eggs.

I believe the chicken came first. God created all animals. My thought would be " who ate the first egg ?" did they see the chicken lay an egg and say mmmm that looks good I think I will eat that.
