Simple way to answer is to sum up all the eggs.
Let's sum: 4 eggs + 3 eggs + 5eggs = 12 eggs.
So, the math answer is 12.
Common sense answer
If I had four eggs. It means I didn't have so eggs= Zero
A thief gave me three: so I have three eggs. But in other common sense, I can't take eggs from a thief to implicate myself. Would you? If Yes then, your answer here is 3 if no then it's Zero
My rooster laid five: This is wrong because Roosters don't lay eggs. So eggs = Zero.
Therefore the common sense answer is Zero if you can't receive eggs from a thief or 3 if you can receive eggs from a thief.
Conclusion
The best and correct answer to "How many eggs do I have?" Is 12. This is because math puzzles and riddles are always based on assumptions. Only a few will be based on common sense.
If you want to apply common sense, many answers will always be Zero which doesn't make sense mathematically.
That's why "if" is usually used when setting a question because some of these Puzzles are just to catch fun and relax oneself.
