Too be honest, I wouldn't recommed it. If you are performing you weight training at a high intensity, your stomach might not like the eggs very much. On the other hand, you are on the right track because taking a protein supplement before lifting is a good idea. Try drinking a protein shake before you lift, or some other good source of protein right before. If you cant, or don't have time don't really worry about it. The most important thing to remember is DEFINITELY get your protein intake right after your workout. This is a major contributor to muscle gain. Your body needs all the protein it can get after a hard workout. Just remember, your body can only metabilize (or break down) about 40 g an hour so don't over do it or you will just be wasting it. For instance if you come home from your workout and drink a protein shake at 20g, eat a chicken breast at 20 grams and eat 2 hard boiled eggs and 14 grams, your body will only use about 40g of that in a hour and you will get rid of the other 14. Hope this helps!!
