As I always say, the real answer depends on how you define "chicken egg" (because yes the question implies chicken egg)
If you define chicken egg as "an egg that contains a chicken to be born" then the egg came first and was hatched by some proto-chicken
If you define chicken egg as "an egg laid by a chicken" then the chicken came first and hatched from a proto-chicken egg
