phytoestrogens in eggs

Judging by comments on various topics, it seems that most Paleo folks eat a good amount of eggs. I certainly eat a lot more eggs than I used to since going (mostly...) Paleo.

Since most chickens - even pastured chickens- eat feed that contains soy, should we be concerned about soy phytoestrogens that pass from the chicken to the egg? Is there an upper limit on the number of eggs we should consume in a day?
