Neither it is the unborn embryo of a chicken.
Fruit is defined as- The ripened ovary or ovaries of a seed-bearing plant, together with accessory parts, containing the seeds and occurring in a wide variety of forms.
Vegetable is defined as - A plant cultivated for an edible part, such as the root of the beet, the leaf of spinach, or the flower buds of broccoli or cauliflower. The edible part of such a plant.
A member of the vegetable kingdom; a plant
Both fruits and vegetables are part of the plant classes, a egg is not.

It's AN egg, not A egg.

It is neither fruit or vegetable. It is an under developed Embryo.
Animals (mammals, reptiles birds and insects alike) do not lay or give birth to fruits or vegetables.

It's animal! The undeveloped young of a bird or reptile. Most definitely ANIMAL. If your son is writing a poem about whether an egg is a fruit or vegetable I suggest he takes up some other hobby without sharp implements.

They're an animal product. Part of the meat and dairy group on the food pyramid. Definitely not a fruit or a vegetable.

An egg is not a fruit or a vegetable, it is biologically mostly protein with the potential to be fertilized to become a living animal. Fruits and vegetables have seeds and are able to regenerate through seeds and pollination.

I'm not usually one to be rude, but why do you people keep saying an egg is a dairy product? THESE are dairy products: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dairy including milk, yogurts, cheeses, and dairy whey.
A chicken egg is a chicken embryo. It's essentially a baby chicken, and therefore is a protein. Just because eggs and milk are usually in the same case at the market has nothing to do with nutritional category.

An egg is both fruit and vegetables. It is a fruit for it is the pathway of bearing a bird(in general), a hen bears her chicks in a way of an egg. It is a vegetables for it is a good food as well as eating vegetables.

An egg is the *ovum* of a chicken. This is neither a vegetable, or a fruit. It is an animal by-product.
