Perhaps wild animals could lay eggs too, then we would have to smash the eggs before they hatch or take it in and raise it to act like a normal dwarf and do labor, like a 'dragondwarf'.

If eggs could go through grates this would be very useful for arenas spcially if we get conveyor belts. Also we would need...ECHIDNAS!!!

You've thought that through far far far to much.

[INVOLUNTARY_EGGS]
If an OVIPAROUS creature has this tag, it is not allowed to choose whether or not to lay eggs; it must lay eggs at every reproductive cycle, even if they are not fertilized.
If the creature lays an egg uselessly, it will receive a bad thought (if it lays an egg usefully, it will receive a good thought). Good living conditions can make up for the bad thoughts from failing to reproduce.
An unfertilised egg will remain intact once laid, but can rot naturally just like any other food item left to its own devices.

This seems somewhat ridiculous. I would see laying unfertilized eggs as a minor, unnoticed thing, much like sneezing or going to the bathroom.

This also means you would have a bunch of angry hens running around pecking everything, since you would have no roosters (lest you should suffer a chicksplosion).

Personally I'd think that you'd only track the thoughts of sentient creatures.

But then, there being no sentient creature that lays eggs, we can only hypothesize what happens to unfertilized eggs in such a culture.
