Answer 1

No, they can NOT die from eating boiled eggs. there is a very very small chance they could start eating there own eggs if you feed it to them too much but it's not likely.

Answer 2

At 3-4 weeks, it's possible the chick was too cold.  Do you have them near a heat source?  At this age, the still need temps in the 80s to keep them warm, particularly if there is just one or two.

Boiled eggs should not be the culprit but for future reference, you want to feed chicks that age Chick Starter available at a local farm store.  

I'm sorry for your loss.

Answer 3

You should have gone to the feed store and bought some HEN SCRATCH for baby chicks. The person who sold it to you should have educated you on how and what to feed them.
