it didn’t somehow cease to have been an egg just because it doesn’t hatch.

Correct. But, it was an egg laid by a proto-chicken; it is a proto-chicken egg.

Our proto-chicken couple also laid an egg that would have become a “Shicken”, if I hadn’t eaten it first. But, because there was never a “Shicken”, there could never be a “Shicken” egg; the egg was only a proto-chicken egg.
