The chicken egg came before the chicken, as the thing that laid the chicken egg was not quite a chicken

Correct!

I had this exact discussion within the last year. The first egg was a chicken egg. Every subsequent egg was a chicken's egg.

Until a chicken lays an egg containing something that is not quite a chicken

See, I think of the egg as being possessed by the mother, so it would still be a chicken's egg to me, but it could simultaneously be a "something else" egg.

It would be a chicken's non-chicken egg

That is a linguistical question. What does "chicken" in "chicken egg" mean? What is chicken? What is in the egg or who laid it?
