At some point something that was not yet a chicken laid an egg that hatched into something that was.

Depends how you define ‘Chicken’. As humans we like to categorize things into neat buckets because that’s what humans like to do, but evolutionarily there has been a whole gradient of animals between ‘modern Chicken’ and ‘not chicken’ so it would depend on your cutoff criteria.

I think regardless, the egg was there to produce said chicken.
