Even if you're talking about chicken eggs specifically it's still the egg first. The first chicken egg would have been laid by a proto chicken
I don't think It's that clear, are eggs named by what created them, or what they contain? I could certainly see an argument that the first chicken hatched from a proto-chicken egg
Bro chickens are already loaded with protein, what are you doing?
It's preferable to Zergchicken, trust me.
I wasn't scared before this, so I'm going to do exactly that
I feel like this kinda answer just shows you haven't really thought about the problem in depth.

But is it a chicken egg because it hatches into a chicken or because it is laid by a chicken?
Because it hatches into a chicken, you're thinking of a chicken's egg
It depends on which egg and which chicken you mean exactly.
