      The egg. If you could draw a line between chicken and not chicken (which you can’t really), then it would have been when mummy not-chicken copulated with daddy not-chicken to make baby chicken, who was a chicken (by species) from the moment sperm hit egg (well, just after).

      The egg. Dinosaurs had eggs, and they were around before chickens.
