It's not so much a philosophical challenge as a grammatical question.

Was the egg that the very first chicken hatched from a chicken egg, even though it was laid by a non-chicken?

If I waved a scientifically-advanced biotech wand and impregnated a chicken with a small dinosaur, would the resultant egg be a chicken egg even though a dinosaur came out?
