The variation of internal volumes in the egg would not change the 
density... In order to change the density, at least one of two things 
must happen:
- matter going in or out
- overall volume changing

It seems to me that the shell of the eggs would prevent both, but then 
there might be some permeability or some room for shrinking/expanding.
