Can you eat a fertilized chicken egg?

absolutely If you gather the eggs daily the process will not really have started enough that you would know. It takes 21 days from start to finish (egg to chick) and many factors will slow and even stop the embryo from forming Cold is one main reason so collection daily and putting them in the refrigerator ensures that a fertilized egg will be as good as the unfertilized ones. A fertile egg needs temps of 99+ degrees and high humidity to get going.This is provided by the hen or an incubator. Its not a good practice but even leaving the eggs in the nest for a day or two (no more) is usually safe.In answer to this question I would have to ask another question.Who says you can't?My reason for this is that people consume fertilized (spelled with a "z") eggs all the time. I live in Honduras and people have roosters and hens running around freely in their yards here. They do not keep the hens away from the roosters to prevent fertilization and, although they do allow the hens, from time to time, to sit on a clutch of eggs to hatch them, they eat eggs from all the hens indiscriminately at other times.Likewise, there is a Philipino delicacy called Balut, which consists of chilled, fertilized duck eggs that have been given the opportunity to develop into almost-ready-to-hatch ducklings before consumption.So in short, you CAN consume fertilized eggs.
