To take Brewster’s question seriously, there actually is a biological answer. At one point in the evolution of the class aves that was a “proto-chicken” (i.e.: a bird almost, but not quite, like a modern chicken.) That avian female mated with another “proto-chicken” of her species and generated an egg (or probably a number of them.) That egg contained an embryo that had the genetic mutation which resulted in the first modern chicken. That first modern chicken (and presumably its other siblings) had enough of an evolutional edge to eventually become dominant. . Thus, it is the egg which came first.

The egg came first. Chickens are hybrids…

If you ask me, the egg should look on the sunny side of life.

A riddle for the ages…
P.S. As a rule, chickens are always funny. A chicken in a space helmet, definitely worth a chuckle.

GoodAnswer – in this case “which” came first . . . ☻

Now we know the answer to yesterday’s question. The chicken crossed the galaxy to escape these questions.

More and more I think Brewster Rockit and Last Kiss are the only comics I really need to read.

Chicken came first, the egg is only potentially a chicken.

The chicken came first – the egg was just breathing hard.

The chicken IS the egg. The egg IS the chicken.
