The mouth is enormously distensible and the teeth are greatly reduced to accommodate a bird's egg as large as a chicken's. Ventral spines on the neck vertebrae extend into the esophagus and serve to break the eggshell. Contents of the egg are squeezed from the shell, and the crushed shell is regurgitated.

The snake doesn't eat a raw egg... that would be gross. He waits for twelve years until the egg is a chicken inside of his stomach and then he digests it.

What do chicken snakes eat?
Being from the rural South, and thus being around all things organic, my answer to this question is that Chicken Snakes (genus elaphe, I believe) eat nothing, outside of rodents but chicken eggs. I have actually seen a black chicken snake digesting what you could remarkably make out as what appeared to be 3 eggs at once. Their name comes from the fact that a chickens actual value, and by this I will be sexist and qualify value with "Hen", Lays, (NPI) with her ability to produce eggs. These snake are harmless, but enterprising, and will get into a coup and make the rounds, ( or should I say ovals), of either "setting hens" or just freshly laid eggs. You should be warned, if raising chickens, if a snake is intruding, by the chickens themselves. They get quite upset when invaded by any one of the various varieties of the chicken snake family and become very 'vocal'. It happens mostly at night per my experience. But remember, they are harmless to humans, though can appear quite aggressive when cornered or entrapped. But they really are just a cost of doing business with nature and surely offset their liking for eggs by the fact they remove far more mice and rats than they ever will eggs. Again, my personal experience.
