'a blue' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'dodge a bomb' is the wordplay.
'dodge' becomes 'duck' (to dodge is to duck or avoid).
'a bomb' becomes 'egg' (informal term for a bomb).
'duck'+'egg'='DUCK EGG'

'it's' acts as a link.
