Do thrown eggs deal damage?
I was wondering if thrown eggs deal any damage at all, because I remember you had to watch out when throwing eggs into a chicken coop, as you might accidentally kill one of the chickens. However now, I just tested this and it doesn't seem to do any damage, even though it does do the "hit" animation (they jump and flash red).
I only tested this on a chicken, and I hit it ~30 times (which is more than enough to kill a chicken at half a heart damage per hit), to no avail.
So do thrown eggs deal damage at all? Or is it just chickens?
P.S. I know I could test this on myself, but I don't have access to any other players at the moment, and my redstone skills a dismal at best, so setting up a jig to test it on myself is unlikely

On the Xbox One edition of Minecraft, eggs don't do damage to players, or they have 0 effect but mobs get pushed back, or they act like they're getting hurt. So the way you can use eggs against mob would be to push them back so you don't die.

Answer 2
Players are able to throw eggs and deal knockback to mobs and other players, but no damage will be dealt. Throwing eggs at neutral mobs will provoke them. Eggs can also be fired from dispensers and are affected by gravity.
