That chicken's parent laid an egg though so it wasn't the first egg laying animal.
Correct, not the first egg laying animal, however the first chicken was hatched from a chicken egg.
No, I don't think I'd agree. Something gave birth to something with a mutation that caused it to lay eggs that we'd call chicken eggs that produce chicken. Itself was born from a creature that didn't lay chicken eggs.
