What came first the chicken or the egg?

The age-old question “What came first, the chicken or the egg?”
has puzzled humans for centuries. While there is no definitive answer,
the debate often centers around concepts of evolution and creationism.
From a scientific standpoint, it is generally understood that the egg came first,
as the first chicken would have hatched from an egg laid by a bird
that was not quite a chicken. This perspective considers genetic mutations
and changes over time, leading to the emergence of the modern chicken.
However, those that believe the chicken came first base
their conclusion on the fact that the hens produce a
protein which causes the formation of the hard shell around
the egg and that without that hard shell, the egg could not exist.
