    Dawkins solved it time ago.

    Mutations are passed into the next generation and if we assume that only chickens can laid chicken eggs then the paradox solution is as follows :

    A proto chicken (soemthing extremely similar to a chicken but not yet one) laid a proto egg of which a chicken hatched and then it could laid a chicken egg.

    Here there is a reduced scope version saying that proto chicken can lay eggs, which depends on the eggs definition may not be 100% acceptable
