I have actually had this debate on Facebook. Some say they don't want fertile eggs because they are eating chicken sperm, And others have said it because they can't get past the fact that that would be a baby. I let them know that the fertilization dies off in temperatures below 55゚ so therefore since I put them in the fridge they are no longer fertile. I've had only one person budge and say ok, And I was luckily the guy that I am bartering with to get their wood shavings for their ground. I give him eggs however he wants, I get their beddingNo one knows until they crack it open, the outside of a fertile egg is exactly the same as a non-fertile one, and as I said, most people honestly have no idea what to look for anyway. They just have visions of partially formed chicks coming out.
If you are selling eggs then you have to do what you have to do. I might just have a conversation with those customers to see what the actual objection is and who knows, maybe they will change their mind. Maybe not. I know people whom have told me the same thing and when questioned (politely) they say basically 'because someone told me', they really have no idea. You could always have a flock of hens separate and a flock with a male, and do both. Just depends on what your goals and needs are.
