I heard one time that you could tell a strong beer because the wort would "float an egg". So I looked into it and yes, you sorta could do this. Here's a graph from an old white paper I found on the interwebs:
From this crazy graph, looks like the specific gravity of an egg is about 1.077 - 1.087 depending on the age of the bird. Now, when one of those post-apocalypse zombies-have-taken-over threads pop up, there's a way to test gravity without a hydrometer.
That's assuming the chickens haven't been infected by the zombie flu.
