Yeah. Also eggs can lead to some awesome new features in the game. Example: buy some unidentified eggs from the caravan, let your dwarf -who has the proper skill- take care of it, and one day who knows what will appear from that egg! 

With my luck, more kittens.

At least with egg-laying livestock you don't have to go through the moral desensitization of economies based off kitten murder.

I lol'ed.

In Chariot's mods, for the chickens, I was unnerved to see chickens have live-birth. Why no eggs? Why aren't the roosters protecting their roost? What's going on here?

As for eggs... "A kitten has hatched! x100" ... Why?

[Overdose]

cat eggs? i'd be more worried about it ending up being undead carp eggs.

What would happen if an besieging army consisted of creatures that lay eggs? Would they drop the eggs during the invasion, causing a secondary force to arise down the road if the eggs are not collected and destroyed(or cooked?)

Ahh, but since time is accelerated, should the layers lay like crazy?

You have discovered an egg incubator, what do these eggs contain?
[Time Lapse]
The eggs have hatch into tamed GIANT CAVE SPIDERS? You are lucky to have found them, or there'd be an outbreak.

[Athisus]

Has anyone else noticed the disturbing parallel between what you're proposing and the Harvest Moon series? You need to make it dwarven, turn the sheep into war animals, the eggs into ammo for catapults, cow's milk drowning chambers, and chicken arenas! Give it some departure from what's already been done.

Does that mean eggs are considered as a drink and food.

I eat raw eggs for breakfast. * crunch crunch crunch*

aliens in HFS? interesting option, methinks.

And this doesn't even touch on what the morals of said race are with regards to an unfertilized egg.

I mean, seriously, what would they do with it?

[The Menacer]

I as good an idea as it is to have more livestock options, I really do feel like we need some appropriately dwarven animals.  It's definitely a good idea to stay as far away from harvest moon as we can.  How's about some kind of benign fungus monster that has to be fed withered crops to produce "wool".  How about having your animal tenders corral swarms of some freaky chitinous chasm beast in order to harvest their eggs.  Since the end product is the same I suppose it doesn't really make a difference, but the two running themes of dwarf fortress are pretty much senseless hilarious death and dwarves eating absolutely ridiculous crap and it'd be a shame to depart from that just for the sake of convenience.

[LegoLord]

Curse those who have stolen from me the opportunity to mention Harves Moon first!

On the subject of there being pets for dwarves specifically, there should be a way to control which common domestic creatures a civ can have (other than biome--good races can bring along unicorns on embark, but not other civs)

Erm, hate to be gross, but there is a human equivilant to this process...
