Not at all. I toss whole eggs out (bator infertiles). They come running and eat them all up, and will go after ones that didn't break, but they quickly figure out that they're whole and leave them without ever pecking at them. They never break eggs to eat. They merely clean up the mess when necessary. When they get into a feeding frenzy with eggs, they gently stick their beak on the egg and try to find an opening, similar to how they drink out of a rabbit bottle.
I can't do that with any of my birds, they will start breaking the ones that get laid. I have fed them scrambled, and then fed the shells crushed up separately, so everything gets used. Not all of them have done it, but a few have. So now I don't risk it.
