They can’t give consent to give them away, but be realistic - do you really think there’s a chance that a hen would consent to you taking what she believes are going to be her children?

she would need to believe that. i have no evidence that chickens believe their eggs to be their children.

You don't need to know what a chicken believes to recognize that their behaviours indicate they do not want others to steal their eggs.

as far as i know, chickens don't recognize property claims. they cannot possibly have a moral opposition or even a personal revulsion toward theft.

Let’s say they don’t recognize property claims. Why does that then make it right for you to take their eggs?

Many say the native Americans didn’t understand the European concept of owning land (property claim). I’m not sure whether that’s true, but if it were would that then mean it was okay for Europeans to take their land?

Your logic doesn’t make sense to me. “They can’t say ‘no’ and they probably don’t understand property so I’ll just go ahead and do what I want.” Lame

i'm saying there is no reason it's not ok to take the eggs, and recognition of property rights can't possibly be a good reason not to do so. it's possible there is some reason, but it can't be that the chickens think the eggs belong to them, since there is no evidence for that claim.
