The egg came first. There were eggs a long time before chickens.
Chickens evolved from dinosaurs and the first ever chicken with the genetics we know them to have today came from the egg of something almost exactly like a chicken.

Depends on what you mean. Lots of species had eggs before chickens were around.
But if the question is about chickens or chicken eggs then that's just up to definition of what you mean by a chicken egg. Is is an egg which will birth a chicken or is it one which was laid by a chicken because that will determine your answer.

Obviously the chicken will start out as a cell and will grow inside of an egg.

The egg came first and if you had read just a little about how animals evolved then you would know that.

Eggs were around a long time before chickens, or even birds generally. You do realise that fish lay eggs?

The egg.
The mutation occurred in the foetus inside the egg. It was then made manifest in the chicken.

Jesus Christ, creationists watch a video and think they're professional biologists.
The Simplest form of life is self-replicating Poly-peptides, that through natural selection could form into more successful protiens.
There is NO eggs regarding cellular life. The egg is exclusive to multi-cellular life.

The chicken. It came from a long line of reptilian species. Which are actually an aquatic species. So the real question is - what came first, fish, or caviar?
