When they hit concret, they hit a hard surface which makes the eggshell to break, but, when they hit the grass or other soft surfaces, they can not break unless they have been thrown with a great force. This happens because of the consistent of the eggshell which is a thin layer of calcium and other elements. When the chicken just have the eggs, they are soft until they touch the air.
Hopefully this helps you

They do break when they land on grass!!!! I have chooks that live down the far end of the back garden. When the children do the egg run they regularly drop eggs and they always break - grass and concrete.

The grass stops the eggs over a greater distance, so the peak acceleration is lower.
