Yes! Egg is good for chickens in moderation. You would want to cook it first though so they do not get in the habit of pecking eggs. Contrary to the previous answer... egg yolks are not baby chicks! Not all chicken eggs are fertilized. Hens lay eggs whether there is a rooster present or not; we get three eggs a day from our three ladies and no roosters are allowed in city limits. You are not eating baby chickens when you eat eggs! You can even feed your chicken...chicken!

There is a risk that eggs contain Salmonella. The risk can be reduced through proper handling and cooking. However, when preparing "sunny side up" eggs, you are not cooking the egg to a temperature that is high enough to kill the bacteria. Although the risk that the egg contains Salmonella is low, it is not a good idea to eat undercooked eggs while you are pregnant. If you get Salmonella poisoning when you are pregnant, you could have diarrhea, a high fever and experience vomiting.
Some eggs have two yolks because two yolks were released from the hen's ovaries at the same time and ended up in the same egg.
No, not all extra large eggs have two yolks. While double yolks can occur in larger eggs due to the hen's reproductive cycle, they are relatively rare. Most extra large eggs typically contain a single yolk. The occurrence of double yolks is more of an anomaly than a standard characteristic of extra large eggs.
Some egg yolks are orange in color because of the diet of the hen that laid the egg. Hens that eat a diet rich in carotenoids, such as those found in certain plants and insects, produce eggs with orange yolks.
