This wouldn't accord with the standard definition of "vegan." Ownership of the egg or chicken does not effect the classifications for types of vegetarians. But the primary reason vegans don't eat eggs is the Horror of egg farming, the suffering of the hens. It is not the concern for the potential sentience of the eggs. So ultimately, if you take good care of your chickens, if you allow them a free a comfortable life and let them live out their natural lives, eating their eggs is not a grievous offense. The eggs, after all, are not yet sentient and do not feel pain when you break them and cook them. Whether the hens would miss their eggs--their offspring--is another question, but presumably they wouldn't.
However, for vegans who have chosen this lifestyle out of mainly philosophical reasons, eating eggs regardless of the hen's living conditions can be considered unacceptable. The reasoning behind this can range from arguments such as "humans weren't meant to live off the bodies of other animals" to "I am opposed to exploiting animals; in using them or anything they create as a means to my end." Perhaps if the chicken could communicate and grant permission to use its eggs or thighs or wings, and the subject still desired to consume a talking chicken, it would be permissible. ---------
A: They aren't vegans, they are called 'Veggans'. 'Vegans' who eat honey are called 'Beegans'

There is no standard definition of vegan and if you believe that it is right to eat those eggs then go ahead. If they are unfertilized then you are not eating any part of a chicken- it is like eating a chicken period. As long as the chickens are not being used soley for their egg-processing and as long as the chickens are not being killed after they stop producing it doesn't really matter. I am a vegan and ate my own chickens' eggs for a while because in contrast to other things they are not unhealthy and they are not hurting anything and they are not meant for any other purpose.
