well if this was in the math section I would figure out the volume of the grand canyon... which i am sure somebody out there has done. Then I would find the average volume of a grade A large egg. Divide the grand canyon volume by the volume of the egg and you have the hypothetical number of eggs that would fit in the Grand Canyon.
Why hypothetical? The person a few answers up suggested there would be problems with the pressure of weight of upper layers to lower layers. There is two things going on here... one, if the egg is receiving equal pressure from all sides it will not break (have you ever tried to break and egg in your fist? extremely hard). Two, if you gave it a pressure free base then they may have a chance to survive the mile high stake of eggs.
anybody thought if they were hard boiled or regular?

I have never seen Grand Canyon...But I have seen eggs...and eaten some too...Eggs come in different sizes.....so I guess it all depend on how big Grand Canyon is and on How many eggs the birds will let you have...

I don't know you would have to know how big the canyon is then divide.
One thing though. You couldn't fill the canyon with raw eggs. They would break and then flow out before you got it full.

it would take about 400 eggs to fill a grand canyon. i think anyway

An average sized chicken egg has a volume of .34milliliters the grand canyon has a spacial volume of 385,521,636,987,210.45 hectoliters. using the Pullyaleeg theorem of h/ml=v the answer is 98,685,325,665,321,988,585,635,878,419,338,549,211 eggs.

why would you want to fill the grand canyon with eggs??

you could work it out to a close guess, I am sure the dimensions and maybe volume of the GC are available, then pick an egg type and divide

....stunned silence.....ok lets gather myself......this falls into the same cluster of questions as "how many cm is it to the moon", which I came across recently.......and my reply as with all such questions is partly one of
- why oh why oh why do you want or need to know that - trust me you are not going to be asked that in any mathematics or geography examination, and its also pretty unlikely to come up in the local pub quiz....and partly one of

Can't be done. They would be washed away by the Colorado river. And Lake Havasu would really, really stink.
Freeparking gets eggstra credit for knowing the answer to life, the universe and everything.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
