Apparently it isn't un-answerable, But it depends whether you believe it or not i suppose! See the link below

The egg of course....

Blinky's link explains the basic science involved, but - for a look at the question in larger terms...

Most scientists believe that birds developed from reptiles. Since most reptiles to this day reproduce by laying eggs, it's rational to assume that the first bird-like creature came from an egg, too. It would then have laid eggs and - over millions of years, perhaps - birds as we know them slowly developed and produced different species. The present-day chicken is one of these, but - 'way back when - its great-great-grand-daddy almost certainly came from an egg. The egg pre-dated the bird, if you believe in evolution.

Of course, fundamentalist believers in the Bible will say that God created all the creatures as creatures. In that case, the bird pre-dated the egg. Take your pick!

Which one is smoking the cigarette and looking smug.
