This is a classic "chicken and egg" question. The answer is a bit nuanced.
From an evolutionary perspective, birds, including chickens, evolved from reptiles. Over time, through a process of genetic mutations and natural selection, these reptiles gradually transformed into the first birds. So, the very first chicken would have hatched from an egg laid by a bird that was not quite a chicken in the modern sense.
In other words, the genetic changes that eventually led to the modern chicken would have occurred in the embryo inside the egg. So, the first bird that could be called a chicken likely hatched from an egg.

Therefore, if we're specifically talking about the first chicken, it hatched from an egg. However, this doesn't answer the more general question of whether eggs or chickens came first in the broader context of evolution.
