Which came first; the chicken or the egg while assuming that the first chicken was a rooster?

My question relates to Adam and Eve in the garden of eden; can you determine the relationship?

Well, assuming I should take you literally, the “fowls of the air” were God’s first creation. So, the literal answer is the chicken… or, more specifically, the chickenS… which REALLY simplifies the “age-old question”… assuming that I’m to take you metaphorically, God DID create the rooster (Adam) first. Adam was the “creation”… Eve, made from Adam’s rib, was an afterthought…
