The Riddle of Which Came First

A mother chicken lays an egg when it hatches, there is a chicken. That’s how it has always been.
Every chicken comes from an egg and every egg comes from a chicken. But was there a chicken first? Or an egg first?
I’ve given up trying to solve the riddle of which came first, the chicken or the egg.
