gross

The fertilized and partially developed eggs eaten by some cultures is called Balut and are usually made from duck eggs. The product is popular in Asia and the Pacific islands. On the contrary, non developed fertilized boiled eggs are not gross. Boiled eggs are very nutritious and there is no noticeable difference between a fertile or non fertile egg until the embryo starts to form. Most farm fresh eggs purchased at a local outlet, roadside stand or farmers market are fertilized and 99% of purchasers would never know. The fertile egg does not start to develop until optimum conditions exist. Daily collection of farm fresh eggs and proper storage do not allow for the development of the fertilized egg and are therefore visually indistinguishable from those purchased at a supermarket.

How many bones are in a egg?

We have to distinguish between fertilized and unfertilized eggs to really answer that question. A fertilized egg contains an embryonic chicken which as it develops will have, by the time it hatches, all the bones that an adult chicken has (only smaller, of course). But in an unfertilized egg (the kind sold in grocery stores to be eaten) there are no bones. The shell itself is somewhat bone like, but it is not actually a bone.


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.
