When you soak an egg in salt water it should shrivel or become smaller. This is because the salt water pulls out the existing water from the egg.

How much salt water is present is not important, the problem is what is the concentration of salt in the water. The saltier it is, the denser the salt water becomes. If the salt water is denser in comparison to the density of the egg (which will more or less vary with each egg), then the egg will float; if not, then the egg will sink.
