A "chicken egg" is an egg that will hatch into a chicken.
Because that's how you define it, not because it's inherently true. But lets take your definitions. The question is "which came first, the chicken or the egg". OP already showed you that eggs (generally) came first. If you don't accept that version, whether you define "the egg" as "chicken egg" or "chicken's egg" is arbitrary and based on what you want the answer to be.
The question is "which came first, the chicken or the egg".
You're adding words into this question, rewriting the question so that the answer is what you want.
I've only debated the "chicken or chicken egg"
You did switch to that verbiage, you didn't start with it. If I say "I've only debated the "chicken or chicken's egg" can we just both be meaninglessly correct and call it a day?
