minus-squarelemmyng@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·2 months agoIs a chicken egg an egg laid by a chicken, or an egg that if fertilized would hatch into a chicken?
minus-squarestoy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·2 months agoThat is a great follow up question, is an egg defined by what ever laid it or by it’s contents?

minus-squareTartas1995@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoWho 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.
