HI
There is no benefit to feeding a corn snake chicken eggs.
Also
The corn snake would have to be HUGE and/or the chicken egg very small. An opportunistic corn snake might eat an egg in the wild but its not their common prey item.
There are lots of snakes that have a special anatomy to pop or crush a egg after swallowing it whole, some of which I keep, but corn snakes are not one of them. I don't bother since there is no additional nutritional benefit.
