Two answer.
"Chicken" comes before "or the egg."
Or
Whatever layed the first chicken egg was not itself a chicken, but a few tweaks of the genome away. I this regard, the real answer is "The egg."
The egg since eggs existed long before the first chicken. Since the question does not specify it HAS to be a "chicken egg" just egg
Definitely the correct answer.
Unless scientists decide chickens are still the same species as their wild counterpart (the red junglefowl), like with dogs and arguably pigs.
Probably won't bother, honestly.
