So I can imagine what you are describing, that is not the issue. It’s just that I would not call that a chicken egg. And I could imagine a world in which it would be, but that’s then not where we reside so it’s not relevant.
Definition of an egg: an animal reproductive body consisting of an ovum together with its nutritive and protective envelopes and having the capacity to develop into a new individual capable of independent existence.
There is no universally accepted definition, that defines it by the creature that laid it or the creature that hatches from it.
If there was, this dilemma wouldn’t exist and there wouldn’t be any debate.
