no idea. there is no proof fo the egg coming first and no proof for the chicken coming first. Therefore, I have to decided to believe that they came together. The chicken was there...being a chicken The egg was there being an egg.....
the egg hatches into a chicken
the two chickens (obviously opposite sexes) mate and make more eggs, which then become chickens.
the question is; was the egg the male or the female, the same with the chicken??

Well, since life existed before it evolved to give birth to chickens via eggs, the chicken did.
the egg, because the chicken has to come out of an egg or by definition of a chicken, it aint a chicken. whereas an egg, by definition, doesnt necessicarily have to have come from a chicken already there.

Ok, I'll be more accurate:
Mutations that cause evolution happen in the sex cells of a creature. So at some point, a pre-evolved chicken got pregnant with a chicken. This chicken's new genes caused it to grow around an egg, but I imagine in that gap where the parents aren't chickens and the offspring is a chicken, the zygote (first cell of a creature, we were all zygotes once) was part of the chicken, and not the egg. However, zooming in closer, we can say that the point at which the zygote multiplies to make a chicken happens before that chicken's egg is completely formed.
