Eggs themselves are not categorized as "Old World" or "New World" since this terminology typically refers to geographic regions. However, the domestication of chickens, which are the primary source of eggs, traces back to the Old World, particularly Southeast Asia. Other bird species that lay eggs, such as quails and ducks, also have origins in the Old World. Thus, while eggs can be found globally, the domesticated chicken's history is rooted in the Old World.
