    Prose.

    Chicken and egg sounds better than egg and chicken.

    Or even just alphabetically, chicken comes first. Which I guess would also answer the question of which came first… 🤔

      In Germany we say Hühner Ei Problem (chicken egg problem). So i don’t think the alphabet is that important.
