That has been long since solved with evolutionary genetics.

The egg.

What produced it just happened not to be a chicken. Something close, but not quite.

Ah, so then you agree that it wasn't a chicken egg? ie Chicken came first (from non-chicken egg), then laid chicken egg.

> A non-chicken laid a chicken egg (i.e. the egg's genes were those of a chicken), from which hatched a chicken.
