In that case the chicken came first, regardless of how we define "chicken", we can reuse that definition for the first egg it laid.

But how do we define a "chicken egg"? Is it an egg containing a chicken, or an egg that's been laid by a chicken?

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Good point. Now I'm less sure.

I guess any "egg containing a chicken" came first, by definition. I don't think I would accept anything that didn't come from an egg as my canonical first chicken, anyway.
