Eggs didnot have the shell when it was inside the body of the hen hence shapeless. To lay it the egg has to pass through an elastic tube having a peristalsis wave which propels it out wards. when it meets the anal sphincter more pressure is required to push it out thereafter as the egg passes out and with the contraction of the sphincter the later part of the egg get taperred off gradually thus it becomes oval. As it passes through the elastic tube it acquires its shell and finally becomes hard with the exposure to atmosphere. This explains its oval shape.

Why Are Eggs Oval Shaped

The oval is actually a very strong shape. Try to break an egg with your bare hands from the top to bottom (not touching the sides). It's impossible. This is why subway tunnels are oval shaped. The oval shaped eggs have a stronger chance of surviving in the wild than circle. And I guess a square would hurt the poor chicken too much

This is a case of the egg coming before the word. Oval actaully means egg shaped. Ova means egg.
But seriously, I've seen eggs that are all kinds of variations on oval. It's just the shape that forms when a bird pushes it through it's ovaduct. The shape could be an adaptation that allowed birds to lay eggs on flat surfaces and not have them roll away. Maybe all the birds who had round eggs died out because their eggs all rolled away.

Hmm very interesting! Eggs are egg shaped and ovals are oval shaped! But ovals can be egg shaped and eggs can be oval shaped. Hope you like my logic.

May be Oval shape prevents early breaking .

It is god's creation to save the life of the birds. If it is in some other shape; how the eggs came out; and how the other shapes spoils the life of the birds.....

It all nature's creation:
Why apple is in a ball shape?
You are making a cricket ball suitable to play: This is first done without so much of hard: it is then hardened and made to suits the play and
nowadays there is rules and regulations for a ball and bat:
But in natures creations the living things are created with suitable natural background,safety and availability: sometimes you can see some rare shapes also: this is due to the changes in the creation:

When in inubation the large end of the egg has to be up. The little critter inside need room to pip. Break through the egg.
