Back to our original question: with amniotic eggs showing up roughly 340 million or so years ago, and the first chickens evolving at around 58 thousand years ago at the earliest, it's a safe bet to say the egg came first. Eggs were around way before chickens

You are correct. The egg came first. Eggs have been around for hundreds of millions of years, long before chickens evolved. The first amniotic eggs, which are eggs that have a shell and can be laid on land, appeared around 340 million years ago. Chickens, on the other hand, evolved from red junglefowl in Southeast Asia around 58,000 years ago.

So, the next time someone asks you "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?", you can confidently tell them that the egg came first.

Hope it helps...✨
