Wouldn't you first have to identify the animal as a chicken? You can't do that when it is still just an egg. You first need to see it grow up and then you can say that it's a chicken. And that process could be influenced by developmental and environmental factors. That type of egg might have been laid many times, and yet no chicken came out. Only when a specific factor was introduced during its development was it triggered into being a chicken.
