Not really, it still doesn't answer the question as the main thing is still unclear.

Is the first chicken egg the one the chicken hatched from or the first egg a chicken laid.

Both can be argued as correct.

What came first? Chicken or egg?

It doesn’t say if the question is about “chicken egg” but only egg

Otherwise the question would be:

What came first? Chicken or chicken egg?

Not-quite-a-chicken laid an egg containing a definitely-chicken. Actual chicken egg was first.
