I don't see a single mathematical proof faggots! You might as well be biologists for all I care.

Eggs, as insects laid eggs back when chicken wasn't a thing.

Those were the times. Now it's all this "mammalian" fad, but that won't last.
Old, solid, reliable invertebrates. What else could you ask?

None of that circuzation, or what they call it.

since insects exist longer than birds and also reproduce by laying eggs, the answer is pretty clear even without math.

just logic and a little history.

Reptiles laid eggs before chicken

Non-chicken has a mutant freak baby
Mutant non-chicken has a mutant freak baby
repeat many times
Mutant non-chicken has an egg that will grow up into a chicken

Egg, depending on how strict your species classification system is

Since the first chicken was first a zygote, product of mutation, recombination and fecondation from its ancestors, it is pretty clear that the first was the egg. However it is silly to think of it as a discrete change.

1. Once upon a time, there was an ancestor of the chicken that laid an egg. Out of that egg hatched a mutation of this ancestor of the chicken: a chicken. Thus, the egg came first.
OR
2. Once upon a time, there was an ancestor of the chicken. Its DNA mutated and it became a chicken. Thus, the chicken came first.
It's either 1 or 2. Depends on your definition of chicken and on the exact time event (1) or (2). This question has no true answer

eggs can't have sex

the rest is trivial
