    Wait really? That’s so interesting. So eggs you buy at the store aren’t fertilized? (Not sure if that’s the right word but ykwim)

        That don’t is a weak recommendation to not look it up, depending on the person it can be terrible to look at

      Typical mass market eggs are unfertilized, but eggs from smaller scale or hobby farms are usually fertilized. On a small scale, it’s easier to keep the hens safe from wildlife with a rooster around, but on a large scale they’re just a waste of feed. If you’re curious, fertilized eggs have a tiny red dot in the egg white.
