I think it was the egg. Because at some point two creatures which weren't quite chickens produced the first true chicken. And that chicken came from an egg. Which may or may not have been a true chicken egg, depending on how you look at it, but clearly it was an egg and preceded the chicken. So the true conundrum is whether the egg that the first chicken came from was a chicken egg.

If you're buying fertile chicken eggs, the purpose is to hatch a chicken. Consider the chicken type known as "Red Star". If you're buying Red Star chicken eggs, the pupose is to hatch a Red Star chicken. Red Stars are a hybrid of two other breeds. The special thing about Red Stars, is that you can distinguish a hen from a rooster as soon as they hatch, which enables you to kill the roosters immediately so that you don't waste feed on them. If you breed a Red Star Hen with a Red Star rooster, then you can't sell those eggs as Red Star eggs because they will hatch into something else besides Red Star chickens. -- pete
