According to Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken
The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a domesticated fowl
Where there domesticated fowl in the garden of Eden? Are they mentioned in the Bible?
Next the creationists will be telling us that God made sausage dogs and poodles in Eden too!

The Vatican has admitted that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution should not have been dismissed and claimed it is compatible with the Christian view of Creation.

"A Sri Lanka hen has given birth to a chick without an egg, in a new twist on the age-old question of whether the chicken or the egg came first."
It is you who is moving the goalposts.

Not all organisms reproduce sexually and of those that do, not all use eggs. I wouldn't even call the equivalent part in a plant an 'egg'.

However, I still maintain that some life forms do not reproduce sexually and therefore do not have eggs.
