How Is a chicken supposed to appear out of nowhere?

The first chickens were mutations of the chicken's closest ancestors.

Sigh, how many times do I have to say this?

Here's the answer to all your problems. Some form of ancient chickens, I don't know what that was, had a mutation (Evolution) and there was a mutated baby whatever you want to call it. Now that is what we came to call the chicken. After thousands and thousands of years of evolution, it split into it's own branch. The chicken had to come first, because the egg the chicken hatched out of was not a chicken egg, but it's predecesors egg, then that mutated whatever branched into a chicken. Problem solved, go home.

So the egg came before the chicken, but the chicken egg came after the chicken. Because the question probably refers to a chicken egg, the answer would be the chicken.

So the only way to solve it is, are we looking for a chicken in any egg, or a chicken in a chicken egg.

I still personally think that the birth of whatever science would class as a chicken, whould happen in the conception and that "chicken" would grow in the egg.

So I would ask again if we care what egg the chicken was in. I reckon its the egg that birthed the chicken who wins. Unless we wanna say the chicken is IN the egg already and so the chicken comes first but thats going too far.
