self.BlueEgg = PhotoImage(file="assets/blueegg.gif")
self.PolkaEgg = PhotoImage(file="assets/polkaegg.gif")
self.RedEgg = PhotoImage(file="assets/redegg.gif")
self.StripeEgg = PhotoImage(file="assets/sripeegg.gif")
self.YellowEgg = PhotoImage(file="assets/yellowegg.gif")
self.PurpleEgg = PhotoImage(file="assets/purpleegg.gif")
self.PinkEgg = PhotoImage(file="assets/pinkegg.gif")
self.OrangeEgg = PhotoImage(file="assets/orangeegg.gif")
self.CrazyEgg = PhotoImage(file="assets/crazyegg.gif")
self.PlainEgg = PhotoImage(file="assets/plainegg.gif")

    The only thing that changes is the type of egg, which changes the attribute on self and the filename. So…

    types = ('Blue', 'Polka', 'Red', 'Stripe', 'Yellow', 'Purple', 'Pink', 'Orange', 'Crazy', 'Plain')
for t in types:
    setattr(self, '%sEgg' % t, PhotoImage(file='assets/%segg.gif' % t.lower()))
