      Which came first:

      • A chicken or an egg
      • A chicken or the egg
      • The chicken or an egg
      • The chicken or the egg
      • The chicken or its egg ?

      If the definite article is used then it should be clear from the physical or literal context eggsactly which chicken and which egg are the subjects. This makes the answer a simple matter of asking each for its birth certificate.

      If the question has been taken out of context or misquoted - and is now meaningless - well that’s just typical sloppy journalism.
