Or maybe they can synthesise eggs, but not the ancestral fertilising sperm. Synthetic human - synthetic human love is doomed.

What I mean by "synthetic" is an egg built in a lab from the DNA chemicals up. The mother would be the futuristic equivalent of your HP printer, and when fertilised could be carried to term either in a human woman via in-vitro fertilisation, or using artificial womb technology.

Or maybe they're chicken eggs.

... Unless 24th century chickens have evolved to the point where they bear live young. :roll:

When you say "Terran is a term commonly used in sci-fi to refer to humans." , you are mostly correct. In Sci-Fi, it refers to where the humans are from: Terra (Earth). Thus anything from EARTH is Terran, not just humans. Thus Terran eggs (which are edibles) are more than likely chicken eggs, the most common edible egg on Terra.
Stole the type right out of my fingers.

Unfortunately this is old, so it's a bit late for me to say this :D
