Where did the neighbor get their chickens? How were the chickens raised, transported, cared for? How are the chickens fed, is the food source ethical? Have the chickens been given hormones to increase their egg output?
I’m sure there’s a million more questions you could ask that would lead to something being unethical, but there’s way more to it than simply buying eggs.
This is what the whole show The Good Place is about.
It’s impossible to account for indirectly unethical behavior and realistically survive. The best thing to do is be directly ethical, and at least avoid contact with unethical people and companies personally.
