What else can I help you with?
Does the Chicken stay in the eggs that you eat?
The egg is not a chicken unless it has been fertilized and incubated.
Are unfertlized chicken eggs good to eat?
Yes, of course they are! In fact, ALL the eggs you buy in the grocery store are unfertilized. The only difference between fertilized and non-fertilized eggs is the tiny drop of sperm. It adds an infinitesimal amount of protein. BIG on the downside: fertilized eggs go bad quicker.
How do chickens make eggs?
Well..... A female chicken lays eggs and if a male chicken fertilizes it then the egg will turn into a chick, however if the egg is not fertilized it becomes eggs that we eat!!
How baby chicken born?
Baby chickens are born from eggs (fertilized eggs only, not the ones you eat), because they are birds. A baby chicken is called a chick.
Can chickens eat chicken yolks?
Yes! Egg is good for chickens in moderation. You would want to cook it first though so they do not get in the habit of pecking eggs. Contrary to the previous answer... egg yolks are not baby chicks! Not all chicken eggs are fertilized. Hens lay eggs whether there is a rooster present or not; we get three eggs a day from our three ladies and no roosters are allowed in city limits. You are not eating baby chickens when you eat eggs! You can even feed your chicken...chicken!
Can you eat goose eggs?
Yes, you can eat goose eggs. As with chicken eggs, just make sure you aren't cracking open a fertilized egg.

If you do not eat eggs then a good substitue for the protein is fish, chicken and red meat. A balanced diet does not require eggs.

Is it bad for a hen to try and hatch an egg that is not fertilized?
no that is how people eat eggs. we eat eggs that chickens/hens hatch that aren't fertilized.
Are unfertilized eggs good for you?
Of course! I personally would rather eat unfertilized eggs over fertilized ones. The eggs you buy at the store are unfertilized
How can you tell if it's a chicken egg or a eating egg?
All chicken eggs are eating eggs unless they have been fertilized and incubated. Even then some people eat them and they are call balut. But to answer your question, almost every egg you have eaten is from a chicken since the eggs of other birds are not usually available in stores.
Do birds eggs have to be fertilized to make chicks?
No, not all chicken eggs are fertilized. Most mass-produced eggs from battery farm operations are not fertilized, as the hens live their whole lives without seeing a rooster. Roosters must mate with the female chickens in order for the hens to produce fertilized eggs. No rooster, no fertilization. Hens are able to produce fertilized eggs for 1-2 weeks from one conjugal encounter with a rooster, but it takes a few days for the rooster's sperm to begin fertilizing her eggs.
