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. ๐
Chicken's egg vs chicken egg
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.
