Egg or chicken?

It is the old often asked question, who was there first, the chicken or the egg? 

 Who was actually first? Someone must have laid the egg so defenitely the chicken was first, but did the chicken not come out of the egg? It is a fiddly question and I think that the chicken is actually not a chicken but a stork, well it is a chicken now but it was a stork then. So the stork laid the egg, so the real question must be was the egg there before or was it the stork, but no one eats stork eggs so the question is irrelevant and afterall the egg was not produced by the stork it was just brought by it.
