I think, I think I even saw an old science project about that before, or was it a hard-boiled egg floating? Not sure, sorry. I think yes.
Edit: oh, I forgot sorry. It takes quite a bit of salt to, because it increases the density of the water, making the egg "lighter" in a sense.

Salt water can allow an egg to float, rather than sink. If there's enough salt, even a person can float; the Dead Sea in Israel is famous for its buoyancy (among other things). This occurs because the density of salt water is greater than the density of fresh water.

Yes, but it takes a lot of salt
