Is it possible to contract the bird flu from chicken eggs?

No: Its hard even to contract bird flu from live chickens, unless they share a house with you., and even then healthy chickens don't spread "bird flu". There are no reported cases of avian influenza ("bird flu") circulating the globe presently.
