They believe it is wrong to steal the eggs of the hens.

Me I just make sure the hens are not looking since some do get upset that someone is stealing their eggs. Since they can not count and do not have the sort of memory to keep track of such it's fine and causes no distress to sneak as many eggs as you want. But if they see you taking them it causes distress in some hens who are making some sort of connection.

Only a minority of hens have the broody instinct from what I can tell. Furthermore unless you have roosters, the eggs are infertile anyway. Calling it irresponsible to take the eggs is a joke.

Vegans are some terrible yokers.
