You people must all be a little ignorant,  let me just make that clear before I make my response, 

The egg came first not the chicken most people seem to want to always argue about this topic and really don't put into the thought that the chicken is and was a cross breed between to very different birds which defined the chicken as we know it today,

Learn the facts and STOP acting so ignorant,  THE EGG CAME BEFORE THE CHICKEN,

Lastly,  Before the chicken can be given life it must first hatch from the egg,  Right?

(For those of you who said EGG , I pat you on the back and commend you for having common sense!)
