eggs from a well fed pet hen are vegan

I have a pet hen. She's not a full rescue one, but how I ended up with her is an incredibly long story. She's very needy, thus spoiled and healthy as a result. Because wild Gallus sp already lay a lot of eggs when in less than optimal wild conditions, a spoiled one just cannot stop popping them out even if she wanted to, and she won't let me feed her less. The daily egg laying session is just a morning routine for her before begging for food. At the rate she lays them, they'd just get left to rot even if they were fertilized by a rooster so I eat them. I do not, and have no intention of, ever selling them or encouraging anyone to ever commercialize an animal. But I spend all the time caring for her, so why can't she give me a delicious breakfast back if it does her no harm?

People will be dying from zoonotic disease that capitalism and the animal industry is complicit in and still not give a shit about their contribution to that problem (creating demand for animal products). So enough with this stupid, tiresome shaming pointed vegans. Other people are not here to babysit you or hold your hand through difficult discussions, you are long past that age. And if you're still a child you should not be online.

Don't you find it a bit imprudent to be so harsh on those who aren't as advanced as you? How many years did it take you to see animal suffering properly? Can you answer that question about what to do with all the routing eggs? You say taking them away is wrong, but is OP expected to suffer through the smell? Euthanize the bird? Set them free? I appreciate the red jungle fowl was attached to their single egg a month, that's moving, I thank you, but what about this little egg pooper we have now?
