Hi,
It's not particularly to do with eggs, but I've heard of a couple of ways to discourage magpies from coming to the garden: they don't like the smell of marigolds (the flowers, not the gloves! :) ), and they don't like sudden, erratic movements.
I've heard of people tying up helium balloons to frighten them away. Not sure if you're willing to do that, but the marigolds might be worth trying, unless the chucks try to eat them. Ours will eat anything! :)
