Are they before or after chickens? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eggs

'are they before or after chickens?' is the definition.
(what came first - the chicken or the egg)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for eggs that I've seen before include "Oval food items" , "Contents of nests" , "Ova" , "Bacon and - -" , "Incites - farm produce" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
