    I fool-proofed the question…“Which came first, the egg of a chicken, or the chicken?”. And you can’t say they use eggs in dinosaur shaped pasta. /s

      In that case the chicken came first, regardless of how we define “chicken”, we can reuse that definition for the first “chicken egg” it laid.

        But how do we define a “chicken egg”? Is it an egg containing a chicken, or an egg that’s been laid by a chicken?
