That article points out something that I have always noticed about this riddle. It does not say "chicken egg", it says "egg". If any species of animal laid an egg prior to the arrivial of chickens, the egg came first. The egg preceded the chicken by hundreds of millions of years.
I think there was an article about 2 months ago that stated it was the egg that came first, i think basically it evolved from another living creature and 1 day this creature layed " the chicken egg "
dont know how much of it is true tho but who can really say.

It makes little difference, really, IMHO.
Some "creature" creates an egg which which mutates. This happens again and again over time. So, the egg comes first, regardless if we call it an "egg" or a "chicken egg".
