Yes! We consume 4 eggs everyday and toss the shells onto the scraps the pigs eat and they love them. Has to be a great source of calcium.

Can pigs eat eggshells?

Yes It is not a good idea but they get calcium from the shells of eggs but if the hen who laid the egg is sick it could be passed to the chickens who eat that shell. Better to get commercial feed that has proteins and calcium with the right mix. Some farms still boil up the eggs they don't want and feed them back to the flock shell and all. If your birds get the occasional raw egg it shouldn't hurt them.

Should chickens be allowed to eat eggs and shells I've heard that the may start an undersireable habit of pecking their own eggs?

They should never be allowed to eat raw eggs, as it almost always results in egg pecking behavior. This behavior can be corrected in several ways, including separating the chicken for a few days in a place that has only fake, plastic eggs, not real ones. However, it's much better to try and avoid that behavior all together. Even if an egg accidentally breaks, do not let the chickens eat it. Either take if away if you can or smear it into the dirt. Chickens can, however eat cooked eggs, and crushed egg shells. Just make sure the shells have dried out and there is no wet egg left inside, or at least very little left. Then you can crush the shells (they don't even have to be crushed that much), and the hens will eat them and create some new egg shells.
