These are truly some BIG questions. However I think they are subject relative to each person and I personally believe I have found the answers to some of them :)

The chicken, we ate it after it laid enough eggs to be hatched later... Next Question :D

No. Because it was stuck to the chickens foot.

These questions seem more like Zen Koans rather than deep questions.
What is the sound of One Hand Clapping?
The unanswerableness of the question leads us to places of awareness that normal rational thought can not go...there are no specific answers to these questions, just the process of contemplating them.

Buy the best selling book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" it is rumored that the answers are in there ;)

Eggs came before chicken. Reptiles laid eggs long before chickens showed up.
My answer pertained to chicken eggs specifically but you are right if you consider reptile eggs coming before the chicken :)

The first chicken was born in an egg, so the egg came first.

In THHGTTG, the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything is 42. The hard part is finding the right question.

Our brains are too small or primitive to grasp these questions. We'll have to wait a few billion years so evolution makes us smart enough to understand what the universe is, why it exists and our purpose.

Chickens could have previously reproduced through live birth and then changed to external egg laying latter so I guess we had to have been there.

Oh yes 42 :) I agree it will take time.

Chicken first. When you look at the design of any supermarket you enter into the produce section. Then hot food (chicken). Next comes deli and I know what you are going to say, they sell chicken and egg salad there. But the sliced meats come before the salad section. Follow the back wall and you must pass by the fresh meats before you get to the dairy section. Some may say this is done by intelligent design, some will argue that this is of natural selection.

the Feng Shui of the supermarket does indeed reflect the order of the Universe and the process of Creation.
