Since a chicken comes from an egg and eggs come from a chicken which one came first?

The modern chicken was believed to have descended from another closely related species of birds, the red junglefowl, but recently discovered genetic evidence suggests that the modern domestic chicken is a hybrid descendant of both the red junglefowl and the grey junglefowl.
Since DNA can be modified only before birth, a mutation must have taken place at conception or within an egg such that an animal similar to a chicken, but not a chicken, laid the first chicken egg. --- But if the bird that laid that "first chicken egg" was "not a chicken," then how could the egg have been a chicken egg?

Evolution....I guess...
