A quick survey. Surely it will make packaging easier and reduce breakage?

No way, I like my eggs to be egg-shaped :) . + I think it would be awfully painful for chicken to lay square eggs, unless u want them to come off some robot chicken

It would neither make the packaging easier nor reduce breakage.
It is just as easy to produce round egg crates as it would be to make square ones, and the breakage depends on the shell, which is weak no matter what. Packaging has never been the problem. It's about handling in and out of the stores.
Being the half-hearted naturalist that I am, I would be far more inclined to buy round eggs anyway, since eggs are not originally square, especially if there is, as I have stated, absolutely no benefit to using a square egg.
On the other hand, chickens are some of the most hormonally and drug affected farm animals around, and it isn't like trying to buy "round" eggs is going to save anybody from the fact that modern chicken is nearly synthetic.
Most likely, I would buy square eggs for kicks, but I wouldn't have the guts to waste my money on a company that produces them.

No. Cloacas don't work that way.
And breakage risk depends on how you stress the shell. If you squeeze the pointy ends, it's hard to break, but if you squeeze it around the middle, it crushes easily.
And I'm a little conflicted about buying eggs anyway, since I've read stuff about how battery hens are farmed--extremely cramped cages, debeaking, psychosis from the stress--poor chickens. Is a cheap egg worth the pain and suffering to chickens?

Don't know about buy them but I used to have a plastic gadget for making square eggs! It was like a press, you put in a hot hard boiled egg and it was pressed into a square. You then let it go cold and bingo square eggs. Great talking point at parties!!!!!!!

actually, I've just returned from a Tibetan monastery,where
in addition to finding the secrets of life we pondered that exact
question. the concensus census was not where to find the square egg
but why did the square chicken cross the road.

I may buy square egg. But we are used to the shape of the Egg - Oval.

Maybe for the packaging and all that...
but poor hen, laying a square egg would really suck.

I have put them on a table...then they rolled off and yolk came out...I'm sure square eggs would be better.
