What is the difference between substitute and replacement?

I would say that they are the same. However if pushed I would say a substitute is changing an ingredient which would give the same results. E.g. Fresh yeast with dried yeast. The end result would be the same. A replacement would be changing an ingredient to change the taste. E.g Replacing lemons for oranges in a lemon cake to make it into an orange cake. Substitute seems to be used a lot more in cook books to mean both.

What are the eggs you can use instead of chicken eggs?

The eggs you can substitute are duck, goose or ostrich eggs - basically any egg. All eggs have the same nutritional value, but make sure the eggs you use are fresh. When cooking, check the desired size. The nutrition value is the same in all eggs but not the size. For example, don't substitute a jumbo egg for a peewee egg (these are sizes) as you will get too much wet ingredient than desired for that recipe. Also, don't substitute a peewee egg for a jumbo egg because you won't get enough wet ingredient.
