Yes. Most eggs purchased at local farms or in the organic food section of the grocery store are fertilized. It is almost impossible to tell that an egg has been fertilized unless that egg has been incubated. Eggs are collected and refrigerated within hours of being laid and therefore do not start forming the embryo. There is no difference in taste nor in quality between fertilized and unfertilized eggs.
There are also some cultures (notably in southeast Asia) who eat partially formed eggs, either duck or chicken, and consider it a delicacy. In the Philippines, this is called balut.
Yes
The egg is not a chicken unless it has been fertilized and incubated.
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!!
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.
Yes, but you should make sure that the fetus has not begun to grow in the egg.
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.
Yes, you can eat goose eggs. As with chicken eggs, just make sure you aren't cracking open a fertilized egg.
Yes they do have veins because when i eat them have black veins :/
Many cultures prefer them to chicken eggs. They have a bit stronger flavor, but are quite nutritous. And only fertilized eggs will hatch, anyway.
no that is how people eat eggs. we eat eggs that chickens/hens hatch that aren't fertilized.
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.
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.
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!
