A chicken-like creature came first, of course. It gave birth without an egg, like (most) mammals do, and evolved over time to wrap it's young in a protective egg casing.

It's a little more complex than that and we would need to go back a little further on the origins of mammals where they weren't actually mammals nor reptiles. A debate I would love to get into but won't as the agenda here is fun. And of course chicken related.
i thought personally that everything used to be transformed into a meal was created by the Chief Cook, not God actually... ya know, the one mighty with the white hat.. lol
Years ago, i rescued a chicken from the next door neigbours, They were an indian family and the guy had bought home a LIVE chichen for dinner, somehow between getting its head chopped off, it managed to get into my garden, I only knew about it when the guy came round from next door with a 6 inch carving knife and a plastic bag, wanting his chicken.
In the end i gave him ?5, and i kept the Chicken myself, Built it a little pen at the bottom of my garden and had it for about 2 or 3 years before it passed away natually.
I called it "Cocky" poor little thing, i remember buying sweetcorn for it
Lived its last few years in super comfort, poor little thing

My great gran rescued 2 little chicks from being slaughtered unfortunately in an accident during a dinner party one of them got stood on. Stories told by my parents was that everytime at dinner the chicken would jump onto my great grans lap and get fed like a child. I only remembered a moment ago as i read your post.
