Is it within the realm of science to engineer a specific breed of hen to lay only female eggs? With the goal of removing the need to grind up thousands of male chicks every minute. Could something go horribly wrong if some of these were to escape their farm, such as an overpopulation of female chickens?
Also, do you think it will one day be possibly to engineer a lump of unthinking mass that takes in nutrients and puts out eggs, with no other bodily processes bar expelling waste and keeping itself alive?

Can we fuck it? If yes, then yes.

There's a lizard that clones itself. The entire species is nothing but female lizards. Such a thing for chickens in egg form would be a revolution in the chicken industry.
It wouldn't cause any problems in nature since chickens already don't cause problems in nature since they get eaten by predators so readily.
