Chicken or Egg?

Can you answer the ancient question: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Juan Carlo is correct - but, sorry, you don't win anything.

The answer:
The egg. The riddle does not specify that the eggs in question are chicken eggs and, according to paleontologists, reptiles and dinosaurs existed long before birds and chickens. Fossilized eggs dating back to one hundred million eyars have been uncovered. Thus it can be said that eggs came before chickens.

The only question remaining is:
What came first, the dinosaurs/first reptiles or the egg?
