The chicken/egg problem is really a problem of a too narrow scope.

"What came first the chicken or the egg?"

The answer is obviously the egg as plenty of other species before chickens laid eggs.

The concept of an egg is far older than the concept of the chicken.

It's implicit that the question is about a chicken egg, specifically.

Then it just becomes a matter of word definitions.
