    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.
