The chicken came first, any way you look at it.

Creationism: God made a chicken first, and the chicken had eggs later.

Evolution (this one's more complicated but follow closely): You've got chickens, and before them came pre-chickens. Let's call them cluckens. So you've got cluckens laying clucken-eggs on and on through evolution. Eventually the clucken is going to evolve into what is now a chicken. But the clucken lays clucken-eggs, not chicken eggs. So the first chicken isn't born in a chicken-egg, since that egg was laid by a clucken. The first chicken-egg only comes about after the first chicken was already born, so the chicken came first this way too. Unless you use the loophole that the question doesn't specify chicken eggs, but you'd have to have really low self-esteem and inadequacy issues to say something like that.
