The chicken or the egg?

It’s the egg. All chickens hatch from eggs, because the beginning of this life cycle for a chicken starts with its egg. From what we know of evolutionary science the explanation is as below. A bird that was closely related to the chicken in evolutionary terms laid the egg. Let us call this close ancestor to the chicken a “bicken” so as to save confusion. So the bicken laid an egg that contained a very sight mutation of itself, and by mere chance the animal inside that egg was the very first chicken. The first chicken hatched out into a brave new world where its particular DNA would flourish.

As the chicken has be a subspecies of the bicken, due to the fact a bicken gave birth to it, they must be able to interbreed. So the chicken would go on to breed with other bickens and many of their offspring would inherit the distinctive DNA that made them chickens. After a period of time due to natural selection the chickens would come to replace the bickens, thus removing the evidence of where the first egg came from. It was not so much flash of light and a chicken appeared, but the rise of the chicken was created by intricate workings of nature.
