 I liked the shadows the glass cast on the robin's egg

post processing: cropped, Neat image, cloning and levels to even out the background, adjusted saturation of egg

Looks a little soft & flat. Probably by playing with levels you could get a bit more contrast / get rid of the yellowish colour of the hen. Then a bit of sharpening could improve the image after resizing.

Good idea for this shot, but lighting glass can be very tricky!! I haven't really tried it myself, so I'm sorry I can't offer any suggestions there :-( Good vivid colors on the chicken.

couple of marks could be clone out and a distracting reflection on the glass but a good attempt, good work

You had a good idea. I think some better lighting would have helped. Also, lose the cup that the egg is in and place the egg on the surface next to the chicken. Try diffusing the light to remove some of the hot spots in the reflections. Also the dark background takes away from the image. You might have tried a natural background or something. Keep up with your progress. This site is an excellent place to practice and get feedback!
