Copying over my screenshots & advice from AHQ -
You put the egg in the coop to incubate, and it will show a timer that it will take two days.
After about a day, the egg will have spoiled.
At this point, if you let your Sim do any cleaning action on the lot and haven't locked the gate to keep them away from the coop, they will follow it up by queuing "throw away" on the spoiled egg.
...and no matter how many times you try to cancel it, it immediately reappears. The action is uncancelable until after your Sim turns the egg to trash.
The only workaround at the moment is to clean the coop, put down plenty of food, put the egg(s) in to incubate and then remove all access to it until the eggs are ready to hatch. If you have a fence, lock the gate for all sims. If you don’t have a fence, add one. The eggs can still hatch after spoiling as long as your sims are unable to access them to throw them out. The rest of your chickens may be mad about the dirty coop by then, depending on how many you have, but at least you’ll have chicks.
