A fertilized chicken egg is considered diploid, while an unfertilized chicken egg is haploid. Chickens are diploid when you are considering chromosomes.
An egg cell is haploid.
A chicken egg is diploid because it contains the genetic material from both the mother (hen) and father (rooster) chickens that fertilized the egg. Diploid means it has two sets of chromosomes, one set from each parent.
Officially, the egg cell is the ovum which is haploid. However, the precursor cells in the ovaries, which people commonly refer to as eggs, are diploid. During the process known as oogenesis, the diploid cells undergo meiosis and become haploid.
Archegonia are haploid structures found in plants. They are part of the female reproductive structure and are responsible for producing the egg cells.
To achieve a diploid state, the sperm cell must fuse with a haploid egg cell during fertilization. This fusion combines the genetic material from the sperm (haploid) and the egg (haploid) to form a diploid zygote.

As a gamete, it's haploid.
Eggs are haploid (before they are fertilized to become diploid).
A chicken egg is diploid because it contains the genetic material from both the mother (hen) and father (rooster) chickens that fertilized the egg. Diploid means it has two sets of chromosomes, one set from each parent.
Unfertilized egg is haploid; but fertilized egg is diploid. That is why you sometimes see chickens even in commercial eggs.

The female egg is haploid, meaning it contains half the number of chromosomes (23 in humans) as compared to diploid cells. When the egg is fertilized by a sperm cell, the resulting zygote becomes diploid with the full set of chromosomes (46 in humans).
The ovule largely consists of diploid cells except in its embrosac where egg apparatus, polar nuclei and antipodal cells are haploid.
