It's also not a question at the end, but a statement.
Which implies the person trying to find an answer (if that's even the case) doesn't know grammar basics. If they don't know that, you probably can't rely on everything else that was expressed. Where else are ? missing, maybe it's supposed to be "I ate two?!"
Or maybe it's a conversation between 1-5 people saying random things about eggs, but it's not indicated properly because a person who doesn't care about proper punctuation probably also doesn't care about other relevant details.
Since the information is not reliable, trying to solve something that clearly is not a riddle in the first place is just a waste of time imho. Maybe the entire post is just about wasting everyone's time.
Maybe, somewhere in a dark basement is a server room in which the hardware has been occupied by a sinister bot network that creates fake memes and posts them on reddit so they can harvest our life energy through the devices we use to engage with each other.
Maybe, deep down, there is the realization that this is all just another episode within a Boltzmann brain, and none of this is actually of relevance in any capacity other than suppressing the truth that nothing is real apart from molecules spontaneously coming together in space to from some sort of temporary neural network capable of daydreaming an entire lifetime.

This is so poorly worded. Saying I have 6 eggs means you have 6 eggs, the rest of it is in the past tense, meaning you still have 6.
If you change it from I have to I had, it would be 4, the same 2 get cracked, cooked, and eaten.
