It is reffered to as an "Ovum," the plural term is "ova." The word is derived from Latin, meaning egg or egg cell.
An unfertilized egg is called an oocyte. That is the proper term for an unfertilized egg from any creature. Chicken eggs do not need to be categorized this way as consumers would not need to know that chicken eggs can be purchased fertilized. They would assume the eggs were unfertilized. A fertilized egg is called a Zygote.
An unfertilized egg is released from the ovary into the fallopian tube during ovulation. If the egg is not fertilized by sperm within 12-24 hours, it disintegrates and is absorbed by the body or expelled through menstruation.
Unfertilized chicken eggs carry half of the needed chromosomes in order for fertilization. Every 26 hours, chickens create an egg and each egg has around 19 chromosomes.
An unfertilized egg in a human body is typically around 0.1 mm in diameter, which is roughly the size of a grain of sand.
In bees, the development of an unfertilized egg into a drone is an example of parthenogenesis, a form of asexual reproduction where offspring develop from eggs without fertilization. Drones are haploid, meaning they have only one set of chromosomes, and they develop from unfertilized eggs laid by the queen bee. This process ensures genetic diversity within the colony.

An unfertilized egg is an egg that has not met with sperm to create a zygote. If an egg is not fertilised then it is reabsorbed into the body and a female then goes on to menstruate.

Maybe because it's unfertilized? (Durr)
There is no nutritional difference between a fertilized and an unfertilized egg. People prefer to eat unfertilized commercial layer eggs, so they don't feel like they are eating the next generation. Also a fertilized egg does not have as long of a shelf life as the unfertilized one does.
