A non-chicken by whose definition? So in short you would need several taxonomists before there would be any hope of a chicken. And usually they will disagree until you get a "good" taxonomist who says it is a chicken but there will always be grumbling and disagreement until that taxonomist dies and they decide it wasn't a chicken after all.
Sadly, BTW, this is the answer to "what is a species" (another topic). We don't know what a species is to begin with, except that it is what a good taxonomist says it is. A taxonomist in general will not describe a single specimen, but at least 2 specimens, and would not describe a species based on a known juvenile. Therefor, the chickens came before the egg.

Once we figure out the answer to this question, we may unlock the secret as to why the chicken crossed the road.

no, that would be a non-chicken's egg, not a non-chicken egg. In the phrase "non-chicken's egg", the statement "non-chicken's" is showing possession of the word "egg", but in the phrase "non-chicken egg", the statement "non-chicken" is acting as an adjective, and it is describing "egg", therefore the egg that the first true chicken came from would indeed be a "non-chicken's egg", but NOT a "non-chicken egg". (Once again if you believe in evolution)

Chicken- if the egg would have come first then it owuld have died because of not having anything keep it warm.

Actually, neither came first. It was a Dodo before it was anything.
Ya see... The way scientist try to explain Dodo's extinction is all wrong. What REALLY happened to the dodo was way back when... when the world was Flooded and all the animals were on the Arc... Ya see, chickens didn't exist then, Dodo's did.
Noah was going to send a Dodo bird out to look for Land.. but it was too Chicken to go do it. So noah said to the Chicken... You Chicken! I'll give the job to someone else then! At that moment, the dodo became extinct and God transformed them into Chickens and said,
"Because you are too Chicken to fly out over the Ocean, you will be food until the End of Time! And they will eat your Eggs too!"
So you see, neither the Chicken or Egg came first... Dodo's did.

hmmm interesting story, but if you are talking about the "Dodo" bird they were killed off by humans, wild pigs/boars and ferral dogs...

if they did come from evolution wouldnt the egg have came first because as whatever the chicken started as slowly evolves wont it lay eggs and eventually wont eventually a modern day chicken come out of the egg so therefore the egg would come first?? hopefully this makes sense ! lol
