We’ve probably always foraged eggs from birds from before we were even modern humans.
Eggs are an easy source of protein and calories that don’t take much of a fight.
Chances are the unfertilized egg (what we use today, generally,) probably got started being used when they domesticated chickens sometime around 5,000 BCE (iirc,) in south east Asia (where chickens were first domesticated.)
Egyptians, Greeks, Roman’s all had robust poultry. (even Mars loved him some fried chicken,)
For most of our history, we would have used everything we could from livestock, so it would have been a matter of time.
