Are all hen eggs in hard shells fertilized eggs?
NO- the vast majority of the commercial eggs are infertile- the hen never sees a rooster. Fertilization of the egg happend BEFORE the shell membranes and shell are added. Fertilization is not needed to form a shell.
What is the difference between hen egg and starfish egg?
The difference is simply the animal inside. Hen eggs produce chickens if they are fertilized, and starfish eggs produce starfish. Also, starfish eggs do not have a hard shell - they are somewhat gelatinous.

Can you freeze a hen's egg?
It is not generally recommended to freeze a whole, in-shell hen's egg. The liquid of the egg would expand and crack the shell. If you'd like to freeze the eggs for later use, break them out of the shell and either separate the eggs and the whites or beat them together. Add a little salt, sugar or corn syrup to egg yolks (see link). Then package in single-use units - like an ice cube tray - and freeze.

Should an chicken egg shell be very thick for the best flavor?
Egg shell actually has very little to do with the flavour of the egg. It is, however, important, as a thin egg shell results in eggs that will crack easily and cannot be sold. If an egg shell is too thick, the chicken must eat a lot more calcium to make the shell, and producers need to pay a lot more money to feed this to them. Note that the thickness of an egg shell is based on the genetics of the hen, and simply feeding them less calcium will result in eggs that have deformed or uneven shells. These shells can also be the result of illness, and render the eggs unsaleable due to consumers not wanting eggs that "don't look good".

How do you make chickens lay browner eggs?
You cannot change the color of the egg shell, genetics are pre determined at hatch and the color of the shell is not effected by feed. You can change the color of the yolk with feed but not the shell itself. The color of the shell is due to a bile duct secretion as the egg is forming in the oviduct of the hen.
Why does your chicken lay at night and then eat it?
This is typical of a young hen who is not being careful. Young pullets ofter break their own eggs at first just by moving around but the hen who has laid the egg may not be the culprit All chickens will eat egg that is available from a broken shell, few chickens will purposely break an egg to get at the food and if this is happening you need to cull the offending hen as the others will learn this and you will get few eggs for yourself. One meal of chicken from the "bad" hen will mean more eggs for breakfast in the future.
