Yes but the real question is, which came first?

[tineeblusher]

If you are religious then most likely the chicken came first

[KoreaFreak]

Actually , this sentence means: "Are eggs chicken meat?", as "고기" means "meat". Hence, the phrase makes no sense. Typically for Duolingo! ;-D

[SeanFogart4]

If eggs, like fish, aren't meat in the 고기 sense, what are they? It's surely a quirk of English to say, "meat, eggs and fish" for the food group. Heck even in English people talk about coconut meat ("코코넛 고기" only 37 hits vs 871 000 for "coconut meat") or used to. Now I get coconut flesh (. . . and who wants to eat flesh?) which is technically copra (코프라) -- never heard of that before . . .

What's the difference between 달걀 and 계란?

[nleconte]

From here (without editing):

계란 is composed of chinese letter.
계 means a chicken. and 란 means a egg.

달걀 is a pure Korean word
닭 is a chicken and 알 is egg.

"Is an egg chicken?" Is not accepted.

[j3nny8675309]

A revised version ("Is an egg a chicken?") of your answer is accepted.

Some of the sentences in Korean Duolingo learning process are so dumb and nonsense

[SeraDesu]

[Mariam675031]
