The chicken egg came before the chicken, as the thing that laid the chicken egg was not quite a chicken
Correct!
I had this exact discussion within the last year. The first egg was a chicken egg. Every subsequent egg was a chicken's egg.
Until a chicken lays an egg containing something that is not quite a chicken
See, I think of the egg as being possessed by the mother, so it would still be a chicken's egg to me, but it could simultaneously be a "something else" egg.
It would be a chicken's non-chicken egg
Do you want basilisks? Because this is how you get basilisks.
Schroedinger's egg
Is a chicken egg defined as an egg that will grow into a chicken, or as an egg laid by a chicken?
That is a linguistical question. What does "chicken" in "chicken egg" mean? What is chicken? What is in the egg or who laid it?
