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?

Good point. Now I'm less sure.

I guess any "egg containing a chicken" came first, by definition. I don't think I would accept anything that didn't come from an egg as my canonical first chicken, anyway.
