If it was an egg first it would be unfertilised, and even if it was and it hatched, a baby chick would die while a grown chicken would live.

noo
it could live
it could pretend to be a duck or something







and since it had parents, even if they weren’t strictly chickens, they could take care of it like a normal bird or egg or whatever

If a mommy cow and a daddy cow love eachother very much, THEY DON’T MAKE A CHICKEN.
if it was the first one it wouldn’t have ‘Parents’. A baby wouldn’t survive in the world and i dunno how pretending to be a freaking duck would help

it would’ve been born from things very similar to a chicken but not quite chicken enough to count

it can’t just appear from nowhere, that’s the whole point of the paradox. If the chicken egg existed before the chicken, it must’ve had chicken parents but if the chicken was first it had to come from a chicken egg

but it can’t just show up

Biology strike

Chickens come first.
Chicken is originally the jungle fowl, which gradully devolved its wild instincts because of being kept for food by Stone Age men.
Them they were officially chickens.
Then they laid eggs.
Chickens come first.

Wait, this is more like history strike

Here is another argument: Chickens came about from non-chickens through small changes, or mutations, in the DNA. Prior to the first true chicken, there were non-chickens. The DNA changes came about in cells housed in the egg. So the egg came first.

In July 2010, British scientists, using a supercomputer, claimed to have come up with the final and definitive answer. They identified the protein, ovocleidin-17, that is required to speed up the production of eggshell within the chicken. In twenty-four hours, an egg is ready to be laid. An egg cannot be produced without the chicken. So that settles it, once and for all. The chicken came first.

That’s my answer and I’m sticking to it!
