No. Unless the egg is fertilized and incubated it is simply an egg. Life does not begin until the germinal disk has begun to grow. Eating an egg is not "killing" a chicken. The collection of materials within an egg has no life until all conditions are optimum for life to begin.

No, chicken eggs are not alive. Although they have the potential to develop into a chick if fertilized, eggs that are typically sold for consumption are unfertilized and do not contain a living organism.

In order for an animal to stay alive it must stay warm. While the egg is still being formed inside the mother hen her body the yolk, which has the embryo on it, is kept warm by the hen.

Large clusters of white egglike pods growing in the ground with something alive inside What is it?

It depends what size the pods are. And I assume you meant there is "something alive inside" of EACH pod. If they are the size of chicken eggs, then it's most likely a clutch of alligator eggs. They dig a hole near water and lay their eggs in it, then bury them.
