Boiled eggs are eggs (typically chicken eggs) cooked with their shells unbroken, usually by immersion in boiling water.

Hard-boiled eggs are cooked so that the egg white and egg yolk both solidify, while for a soft-boiled egg the yolk, and sometimes the white, remain at least partially liquid.

Hard-boiled eggs are commonly sliced, particularly for use in sandwiches.

For this purpose specialized egg slicers exist, to ease slicing and yield even slices.

Hard-boiled eggs should be used within two hours if kept at room temperature or can be used for a week if kept refrigerated and in the shell. (source)

If you are going to give them any kind of egg, then hard boiled egg or scrambled egg is a better option for them
