What came first the checken or the CHICKEN egg?

The original question was "What came first, the chicken or the egg?" And the answer was the egg as dinosaur eggs came into being far before chicken eggs did, this was a trick question used by greek philosiphers to make thier students think back in ancient times. My question is, What came first, the chicken or the chicken egg? I do know the answer to this paradox, but would like to hear what you have to say. The correct answer is actually (In my opinion) The chicken. The chicken started out from a crossbreed between a red and white junglefowl, when the red junglefowl lied such an egg, it was known as a red junglefowl egg, as the egg belonged to a red junglefowl, and since nobody knew it would be a chicken by the time, the egg must be named by the thing that lied it, making it a red junglefowl egg, rather than a chicken egg. When the egg hatched a chicken came out, making it the first chicken, without the egg. And this is my interpretation on the paradox! Whats yours? ;]
