The triumph of the egg

Im reading this shrot story by Anderson, and comes to my mind the simbology of the egg and how the egg spoils his family’s hopes for success, first as chicken farmers and later as restaurateurs.
What do you think about the egg and its meaning in the family life?

It's not all it's cracked up to be.

Like chicken eggs, or human embryos? It is usually a rebirth or a purity of innocence metaphor.
