Is a chicken egg an egg laid by a chicken, or an egg that if fertilized would hatch into a chicken?

That is a great follow up question, is an egg defined by what ever laid it or by it's contents?

Chickens don't lay eggs, hens do. 😉

Chicken's egg vs chicken egg

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Who is possessive in your "chicken's egg"? Whose egg is it? The animal who laid the egg or the animal who lays in the egg?

I am fairly certain that chicken egg is chicken's egg after a couple decade of human being lazy. We love to drop stuff in languages.

So chicken's egg vs chicken's egg.
