If it helps, chickens--real chickens in real life--love to eat eggs. Like really, really love it. Most will leave unbroken eggs alone, but if one gets broken in the coop, all the hens will immediately gather around to try and eat bits of it. Many people who keep chickens will supplement their diet with hard-boiled eggs because they're a good source of protein and calcium, and again, the chickens love to eat them. Chickens are evil little omnivores.
If you ever want to see something really scary, watch chickens chase down a mouse or small lizard. Their inner dinosaurs emerge.
