That would ingnore the overlap, not eliminate it. There are many mutations that accumulate not one.

No, it just validates the question. With a line only a single generation wide, the question is invalid. An invalid question doesn't have an answer. The line does exist, however. There is a point where a proto-chicken could mate with another proto-chicken, let's say 900 generations in the future, but not 901. Then that's the gap separating the species, and that's the framework in which we have to look at the question in order for it to have an answer.

If you frame the question with those conditions then you are correct, but all questions do not have an answer. The proto-chicken and the chicken can both interbreed with some of the intervening generations, as I look at it from this framework there is no obvious answer.

Well I suppose it goes like this...
The chicken evolved from another bird of sorts (As it's proven most birds are related to Dinosaurs such as the Raptor) so technically the Egg came first as the Egg was the one that carried all the genetic mutations and changes through the Dino period of Raptor to bird. This of course, is only through a scientific point of view. But who knows truly tho...to me I tend to question the theory of evolution as I don't fully agree with it in entirety but enough to the point that there maybe a basis of truth behind it.
