I had always considered it a joke question.

+1 and to Iram (and lol)

(there is a very large chance that the whole thing was taken by everyone in jest... but just missing the unneeded smileys...)

So when the chicken hatched out of a turkeys egg... it would have seemed odd. Do you think it would have been abandoned?

I didn't take it either as a joke or as an important and serious thing - it occurred to me as a question whose answer only recently became known, so I had a go. Birds were laying eggs already a very long time before chickens evolved.

A chicken hatched from the egg of something that was already very nearly a chicken, not a turkey. Chickens, incidentally, like dogs, have been so domesticated that they have evolved quite significantly over mere centuries, with some very distinct breeds emerging from the original domesticated breeds. At no point did the offspring look like anything but a variant mingling of its parents.
