I don't think they eat eggs?

An egg the size of a house may have a hard time supporting itself.

Unless the egg were thicker in proportion to the volume it would likely not support much more than it's own weight.
What I said uses the same materials physics that limits insects to the size they are. If they were much larger and their exoskeletons were the same thickness they would collapse. If the exoskeletons then were the proportional thickness they would be too heavy to fly. In the Carboniferous Period (about 300 million years ago, give or take a day or two) there were dragonflies with a wingspan of 29 inches. That's about the limit of insect size.

they did a test and 4 half eggshells can support a semi!
so an egg the size of a house could support several million tons of weight.

Yes - as long as they did not get eaten by the bird that laid the egg.
