we had chickens when I was a kid and I was the egg collector, and it is true that a hen will peck your hand to pieces other that let you have the fertilized eggs. otherwise they just lay an egg and hop on up and continue on their day.
but this always grossed me out as a kid... if I dropped one of the eggs I had collected on the ground by accident all the chickens would run over as fast as they could and start pecking and eating it! I always wondered why if eggs were such a treat to them they didn't just break one themselves? does anyone know why chickens like their own eggs but won't actually break them theirselves? Or was it only my crazy ass chickens? LOL
Oh and chickens do seem sort of stupid, remember in Finding Nemo when the seagulls are always just milling out saying "mine mine mine mine..." over and over? that is so totally a chicken attitude. But if you watch birds lots of them are that way, except ducks they are amazing and intelligent

lol!
i did realize that eggs did not come out of a chicken's behind. i was just making fun of the grossness of it (in my opinion, that is -- my dh would die if i quit making him eggs on the weekends, and scrambled eggs are one of the few foods that tucker will eat no matter what
