The context of the question is "chicken egg" vs "chicken"
From an evolutionary perspective, a precursor animal existed prior to the chicken. And at some point the very first chicken was born. Did its egg belong to it or its mother? Was it a chicken-egg the chicken hatched from? Or a precursor-egg?
Once you can establish the ontology of the egg, you'll have your answer.
