It depends what you consider the first chicken - it evolved from something else (probably a reptile) which itself evolved from another reptile etc...So are we talking about a small flightless dinosaur as the first chicken? Or how far back do we go?
I would presume that the predecessor of domestic chickens were wild birds. At some moment in time a creature came on the scene that if scientists were there, they would have said it was a chicken--that chicken began its life as an egg. I don't know of any chicken-related species that are live bearers.Jupiter551 said:It depends what you consider the first chicken - it evolved from something else (probably a reptile) which itself evolved from another reptile etc...So are we talking about a small flightless dinosaur as the first chicken?

lol Yeah, to my eyes, the primary difference between domestic and wild turkeys, e.g., is boob size.Jupiter551 said:yeah, well chickens are domesticated versions of forest fowl that are still found in India today, iirc.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
British scientists claim to have solved the mystery...

I love how British scientists locating proteins strands essential to egg production leads to 1400 comments about evolution vs "creationism" heh

This made me happy. I imagine a little squirrel voice shouting something as he leaps in for the kill. Perhaps I should call it eggcellent to keep things relative. >_>LiLredhairedgrl said:
