    I think point two may be wrong. The strength of a shell should be proportional to its thickness, which would scale linearly with its size (assuming the shell got thicker in proportion to the size). There’s definitely a point where a self supporting egg requires very thick shells like you said, but the scaling law you gave uses the wrong change.
