Surely in a non commercial setting (as I understand this situation to be) motivation matters? If primary motivation is eggs then maybe the question is legitimate. If they're pets? Not so much. Or you get into a situation where harvesting crops is morally wrong because it deprives animals of food. It does deprive them of food, but to me it seems theres enough distance between the 2 things, that harvesting isn't morally implicated.
