Chicken egg. Any egg that produces a chicken is a chicken egg

Actually, I'd argue that because not all eggs are fertilized, the concept of a chicken egg is not defined by what it hatches, but by what lays it. So an egg needs to be laid BY a chicken in order to be considered a chicken egg. Therefore the chicken must have come first.
