The measured volume decreases by the volume of the egg. However, the volume of just the liquid never changes.
When an egg is placed in Kary syrup the egg releases the water inside of it to achieve diffusion. There is a higher concentration of water in the egg than in the Karo syrup. When you touch the egg after it was left in the Karo syrup overnight you will find that it collapses under your touch because it has lost some of its volume (the water). The egg will also shrink in size.

Yes, an egg does shrink if put it into syrup.
The egg gets sticky.
It shrinks into a smaller size. When an egg is placed in syrup the water moves out and causes a decrease in its mass. This is a result of Osmosis occurring, since water moves to higher solute.
Corn syrup
it absorbs a majority of the corn syrup and sores it in it's membrane
its hypertonic. if it were in water, it would be hypotonic.
the egg becomes smaller
seagull's eggs are about the size of an average chicken egg to 2x the size.
