I don't think so; they don't absorb the water that they're boiled in because the eggs are not in water for a long enough time to do so. And while the egg itself transforms from raw to cooked it does not gain or lose weight.

Eggs do not gain weight when one boils them because water does not enter through the shell of the egg. However, other items, such as peanuts, will absorb the water and gain weight.
