It would be transmuted into very expensive waste.

are there any current rules for what would happen if you were to cook and eat a dragon egg?
You get full?

are there any current rules for what would happen if you were to cook and eat a dragon egg? Stat changes, material changes etc.? it just seems to me that an item with an initial cost of 10k gold would do something if you were to eat it
The egg's parents come to hunt you down?
Lots of things with price tags don't have rules about eating them...
If you come into possession of a dragon egg, I can only imagine you sell it to someone with more money than sense.
Nothing good will come of possessing it, nor of eating it.
Do dragons lay eggs like chickens, or would this come with an alignment change as well as wasted gold?
Does it come with a side of Daeodon bacon?

What kind of dragon are we talking about here? It varies heavily.
If we are talking about a green or black dragon, then you will probably get sick. They are creatures heavily steeped in poison and acid, and the eggs are things designed to tolerate being around such creatures. Their flavor will generally be unpleasant if you don't utilize highly specialized technique.
Now red dragon? You will need an excessively high starting temperature for your frying pan, but once you get that, they practically melt in your mouth. It is near impossible to actually burn them, so you are more than able to freely prepare them without any worries about time.
White dragon tends to be game-y, and there is very little chance that you will find one that isn't uncomfortably far into development (ie- there might be an eye in your omlette). They tend to lay their eggs relatively late in order to minimize incubation time since white dragons are not very good at watching eggs.
The 3e Draconomicon has a bunch of really good rules and such for things like eating dragon eggs or organs etc.

Turn about is fair play. Since Bulletes eat halflings, having them put bounties on them for a village feast is in order.

The only currently published rules for 2e concerning eating dragon eggs are the alignment and anathema complications of eating the babies of a sentient species, the rules for divine intercessions if a draconic deity decides to curse you for your crimes, and the statblock of the dragon that will hunt you to the ends of the earth for eating its young.
I want my baby back, baby back, baby back ribs.
Although that depends on how much dragons care about their young. They could also see this as "weeding out the weak" and don't have a problem with eating the things you defeat (they do it too after all).The only currently published rules for 2e concerning eating dragon eggs are the alignment and anathema complications of eating the babies of a sentient species, the rules for divine intercessions if a draconic deity decides to curse you for your crimes, and the statblock of the dragon that will hunt you to the ends of the earth for eating its young.
I don't think eggs would count as weeding out the weak, would they?

I'm wondering what happens if my characters eats a whole Mattock of the Titans. For 36000gp, its effect should be massive!

Urgathoa is impressed (and somewhat confused) by your incredible display of gluttony, and blesses you with a moderate boon.

Yeah, that would be a bit unfair. It could lead to an interesting dynamic that dragons protect eggs, but as soon as they are hatched they don't care about the wyrmlings (The Temeraire novels use something like this).
Not sure about Pathfinder, but at least in D&D some dragons do not always protect their eggs and instead leave them in the wild. At least those probably won't care much if you ate them.
In the end I just try to not use human morality and behavior for obviously nonhuman creatures.
I wouldn't assume human morality. However, I would expect that extrapolating from behavior seen across many species, some principles would hold. As a result, I would expect the amountof concern dragons have for the wellbeing if their eggs to be inversely proportional to the number of eggs they lay.
Rules for Dragon's Eggs can be found in The Magicians episode Home Improvement.
Ha!
