Actually, I just saw that someone said you can eat the fertilized eggs. But do they have tiny chicks in them?

Not if collected daily.
If they are allowed to sit and a chicken sits on them (or it is just stinkin hot out), they can start to develop.

So just collect daily and you are good to go.

He's a Cornishx meat bird, and caponizing will make him grow BIGGER, if he could survive the surgery. Sorry, Mary

X2 on the Cornish Cross.

He will mate or attempt to mate the girls and they can have fertilized eggs. You can eat those, no problem. They won't have tiny chicks in them unless you incubate or let a broody hen sit on them.

As advised by @TLWR collect the eggs daily and you should have no problems.

This is a picture of the rooster with 2 of his siblings. He is almost exactly 2 months old. Thoughts? Also, is there some way to neuter a rooster? My sister is already really attached to him.

Thanks for the info. I'm afraid my sister won't be "processing" this one. I remember this wisdom from my dad:
"Never name your food,"
