I managed to miss this one when I was a kid, but it's just the sort of thing I like, with wonderful illustrations by Louis Darling. First read it earlier this year as my New Hampshire read for NancyNova's states challenge.
Eggs *are* sort of mysterious: you can't see what's happening inside, and what looks like an hard, inanimate object turns into a (hopefully) living creature! In this case, one of Nate's hens lays an egg that's really different from anything else he's ever seen. What could possibly be inside?
Here's another copy on my BookCrossing shelf.

Left on a table for zbird's A to Z challenge; larger photo here.
