Most of us have heard of the argument for both sides: the egg comes first because the chicken has to hatch from the egg, and the chicken comes first because the chicken lays egg. However, some scientists, philosophers, and chicken farmers from England have come to the conclusion. What do you think their answer was?

duh! it was the egg. because dinosaurs had eggs. and they came way before the chicken
May 30th, 2006 at 13:43:00
yeah, exactly, good for you
May 30th, 2006 at 18:35:54
exactly its a trick question, it says egg but not what kind of egg…

well, no, it’s not supposed to be a chicken egg. An ostrich egg can’t hatch into a chicken, according to these people, because an individual’s genes don’t change in a lifetime.

I disagree.the dinosaur evolved into a chicken and laid an egg! therefore…….the chicken came first. eggs dont just come out of nowhere you know!!!

i say egg because its a single celled organism

look, the egg had to come first. Chickens have evolved from older beings. As the chickens evolved, they changed size and shape, so our modern day chicken is largely different from the original bird. Since the chickens are so different, they become incompatible and unable to reproduce with eachother tecnically making them members of different species. This means that the first chicken reaches back only as far as the earliest compatible chicken which had to be and egg first because it was laid by a previous chicken-like-bird.

THE answer is: Hen.
Chickens can’t lay eggs but Hens can and the egg must ultimately come from the Hen, unless it was made by scientists back in 3000BC which is unlikely. So the question is a trick question and i don’t think it was meant to be answered. It is a rhetorical question like: If a tree falls in the middle of a forest, does it still make a sound?
DUH!

well SHEESH!

and actually a chicken is a general category like dog or cat. Hen and roosters are the female/male category names.

if it is NOT necessarily a chicken egg: dinosaurs laid eggs, therefore egg came first.
is it is a chicken egg: by semantics, the chicken had to come first, since it is the EGG OF A CHICKEN.

hey masterchief get a vocabulary its not a rhetorical question its called a paradox just like the tree question and ” im a compulsive liar, can you trust me?” so stop calling everyone retards cause this is supposed to be the reaction of people and you are a douchebag
October 31st, 2006 at 12:54:10
What? do you mean like your mum?:lol:
October 31st, 2006 at 19:47:34
If is there an answer to this question, we’va already knewi by this time. Everybody would. so is useless to argue cause the answer doesn’t exists

You’re even dumber than Katrina!!

It seems quite simple to me, the first ever chicken had to have been born of an egg, that is one of the things that clasifies it as a chicken. If you then use the exuse of the animal that laid the egg, it had to have come from an egg itself, or it would not be a chicken at all. So undenaibly it is the EGG.

Masterchief, calm down. It’s an opinion thing. People can believe what ever the hell they want. No need to insult people, and even if you do, use something more creative than “Like your mom:lol:” because that’s fourth grade right there. Chill out and go play some Halo 2 because you obviously obsess over that game.
November 3rd, 2006 at 12:32:17
Johnathan, you’re right, maybe I should chill.
Sorry everyone.
I mean it, im sorry.
But honestly the answer is HEN!!!!!!
November 4th, 2006 at 01:13:35
random guy here, but didn’t god make the chicken not the egg? its just a religious way to win everything. but following Darwinism yep it was an egg.
November 5th, 2006 at 09:46:43
Yep, more religious nuts.
Will it Blend?
