This has been answered many times before. The predecessor to the chicken laid the first chicken egg, which hatched the first chicken. So obviously, the egg came first.

But are chicken eggs eggs that hatch into chickens or eggs laid by chickens?

Doesn't matter. Many species of animals come from eggs, so the egg came first.
