The Rooster's Egg

The phrase "The Rooster's Egg" is an idiomatic way of describing a situation that’s impossible or nonsensical, similar to “a chicken-and-egg dilemma.” It suggests a problem where the origin or cause is unclear—like asking whether the rooster, which doesn’t lay eggs, is responsible for the egg. Essentially, it highlights a logical paradox or a question that has no definitive answer because it involves a circular or mutually dependent cause-and-effect relationship.
