It's totally safe to eat a raw chicken egg, whereas it's not a good idea to do it with a lot of other avian eggs.
A chicken egg is practically sterile inside as long as the shell is intact because it contains an enzyme called lysozyme that directly attacks a bacteria's membrane, weakening it and thereby making it explode. Duck's eggs for example do not contain these enzymes and as such it isn't really wise to eat those uncooked.
