      If you go back in time far enough there were no chickens but there were still eggs as the dinosaurs laid eggs! So you could argue the concept of the egg existed before the concept of the chicken.

      Ha ha ha ha.. Long debates on this.. I do not know the answer again. but dinosaurs laid eggs ! so eggs existed before. agree with Martin.

      Oh this is a mind blower this. I talk myself round in circles with this one but it HAS to be the egg right…has to be.

      I can totally relate to Kate’s feelings on this question and I will also say that it has to be the egg that came first!
