Oh wow, this is much simpler explanation than the obtuse one I use: "1st chicken ever definitely came from an egg but the creature that laid that egg wasn't a chicken."

    That depends on semantics.

    Is a chicken egg an egg laid by a chicken, or an egg that hatches a chicken?

    The answer to that question changes the answer to the original question

    Who introduced "chicken egg"? The original question just says egg.

    I get that that's the premise of the joke.
    But that not the premise of the dilemma, which pretty clearly implies it's a chicken egg.

    The dilemma would have no meaning of it was "what came first? The chicken or the horseshoe crab egg?"
