A toad is an amphibian and a chicken is a bird, so we expect there to be large differences in their eggs. A toad must lay eggs in water because the eggs are a very simple egg cell with nutrients, surrounded by a protective layer of jelly. A chicken can lay eggs on dry land because its egg cell floats on a yolk which contains nutrients for the developing embryo;is surrounded by albumen which keeps the egg from drying out; and is covered by a hard shell which protects the egg and keeps water in while allowing carbon dioxide to leave the egg and oxygen to enter. So, the chicken egg is much more complicated than the toad egg.
