Chickens evolved from another animal, regardless of whether that animal laid eggs or not (most likely did) the truth is the chicken came first, the chicken's egg was laid by that chicken but before the chicken appeared for the first time there were no chicken eggs. And if you want to talk about eggs in general then all animals evolved from unicelular organisms (which according to theories appeared in the ocean through chemical reactions and/or came from space on meteorites), the primitive "animals", so basically eggs came afterwards.
If that first chicken evolved, then the egg had to be there before the chicken. It may not have been layed by a chicken, but it contained a chicken. Which in my opinions makes it a chicken's egg, not a dino-chicken-like-creature's egg. For the chicken to come first it would have to have been magically zapped into creation without the use of eggs.
