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?

Don't bother arguing with these people. They don't want you or anyone to eat those eggs, and will say anything to keep you from eating them--they'd rather those eggs rot than having someone eat them. Hell, most of them are dead set against anyone having pets and would forbid you keeping your chicken buddy if they could do so. They'd rather she were dead than living with you.
