Maybe then you should have asked them..what was first the dinosaur or the egg?
And why do many reptiles perform LIVE births?
Yet ALL birds lay eggs?
Did the reptiles evolve to live birthing?
Then why didn't the birds? Or the other reptiles?
I dunno and maybe noone knows for sure..that's why there are such varied answers.

The question boils down to opinion.
Is an egg laid by an evolutionary ancestor of a chicken a chicken egg just because it hatches into a chicken, even though it was laid by a proto-chicken? Or is it only a chicken egg if it was laid by a chicken?
Essentially we know that eggs preceded chickens but it is a matter of interpretation as to whether chicken eggs preceded chickens.
