It would falsify the laws of physics, by allowing an egg made of incompressible substance to emerge from a a frog smaller than itself; and violate the known principles of genetics and biochemistry, by allowing a frog to manufacture chicken DNA and create calcified egg shell.
But it would not violate evolution by natural selection. Law of natural selection does not forbid the occurrence of truly freakish one-off events, as any chicken egg laid by frogs would be.
