Possibly.....but if you look at more likely alternatives there would have been other strangeness going on...the vampire chicken..the notorious werechicken...and worst of all the incredibly hideous but prehistoric amphibious chicken.

"Coming to a movie theatre near you... the greatest mystery of all time, is solved, for all time, forever more! Which came first, the chicken or the egg... we now know the answer - it was the man-eating Rooster who spawned that fateful egg on that bloody summer's eve! Will mankind survive this terrible ordeal of the ages? Find out in: Chicken or Death!"

"The debate, which may come as a relief to those with argumentative relatives, was organized by Disney to promote the release of the film "Chicken Little" on DVD."
Chickens used to have live births just like mammals. One day a chicklet became coated in a hard shell while in the mother's womb due to excessive M&M intake by the mother, having mistaken the tiny candies for gravel. When the first chicklet was born the chickens decided to go with that method because it was deemed easier than sitting on live, moving chicks with pointed beaks.

Jeez! What a question. What came first was the Jungle Fowl that was captured and then bred for desirable characteristics (like egg production or meat). It's pretty clear that chickens are just Jungle Fowl since chickens are able to interbreed with Jungle Fowl.
A chicken is a captive Jungle Fowl or a descendant thereof. The capture was most likely accomplished by robbing eggs. Thus, the egg must have come first.

That just shifts the debate to what came first the junglefowl or the egg....
