I believe you're thinking of "Alligator Pie", a TV special based on the poetry of Dennis Lee.
It's on You Tube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A36A4ouvOSM
(the muddy puddle scene occurs at 25:25).
Idk if it was a tv show, a movie, or a made for tv movie...hell it may have been a vhs special... All i know is...it had a talking egg...a PUPPET egg My memory says it had a little suit on and little arms and legs..it may have spoke in rhymes..at one point it gets stuck in the mud and says a muddy puddle rhyme. i think it was lost and trying to find its way home.. It def has an 80s Barney vibe I think the kids are out looking for him and he keeps getting lost idk...its been bugging me for 20 years
