A basilisk is born from a serpent's egg being hatched by a rooster or a hen.

A cockatrice is born from a hen's egg hatched by a serpent.

From the Cockatrice article on Wikipedia:

"The translation from basiliscus to cockatrice was effected when the basiliscus in Bartholomeus Anglicus' De proprietatibus rerum (ca 1260) was translated by John Trevisa as cockatrice (1397).[5]
