Given the way evolution (and logic) works, whatever laid THE egg was a “Proto-Chicken” not a chicken, otherwise /it/ would have to have hatched from THE egg. Hence, the Egg had to come first.
I’ve never understood why anyone would even ask this question. Before you can have a fertilized chicken egg; you first have to have a male and female chicken. If you didn’t have a male chicken (Rooster) to fertilize the egg; then all you would have is breakfast.

Well – that answers an age-old question. Now we only need to find out why it crossed the road.

Don’t you have to make a T. Rex, before you can make a chicken?

Let’s think of eggs.
They have no legs.
Chickens come from eggs
But they have legs.
The plot thickens;
Eggs come from chickens,
But have no legs under ’em.
What a conundrum!

What came first, the chicken or the egg? The T-Rex.

A chicken is an egg’s way of making another egg.

Eggs were around for millions of years before there were birds of any kind.
