I'm gonna say that the egg came first. Two creatures mate, and the female lays an egg. Out hatched a chicken. Ta-da.

I gotta agree with that. I'm not looking into it in depth here, but to my mind it makes sense. Aren't mules a cross of horse and donkey? So why can't chickens be a cross of something?

You know...you could have something there!  I know here while back some folks were noticing the hawk chicks here abouts were not good at hunting or flying and looked strangely like chickens.  Chicken hawks maybe.  Regular hawk chicks all these many years and suddenly, out of nowhere....chickens!

Chickens and hawks... Interesting. Maybe there's a hint of sarcasm in there too.

I can see that! Gaters lay eggs, don't they? Wouldn't want to see the mating but the offspring could very well be a chicken.
 
You never know, but I doubt it. Those animals went extinct millions of years ago; we don't know how long they lived, but it certainly isn't that long. And there would have to be at least a few hundred for the species to go on; they can't just breed with their family, or else the babies will have recessive traits. And even if there were hundreds of them, I really think we'd have noticed by now.

Also, forgive me if I sound like an idiot when I'm talking about genetics. When it comes to genetics, I am LOL
