isn't that the main loop hole of who was born first? chicken or the egg?

Egg was first by millions of years.
Do you mean "cell" which is neither egg (which is a specific specialized kind of a cell - reproductive) nor chicken?
Well, the cellular specialization arose long before amphibians emerged from bodies of water, and amphibians laid eggs long before birds evolved, eventually branching out into any species of chicken.
