    chix and cat food

They actually bypass the bread and chicken food and run straight to the cat food! I guess my question is..."Is it ok to eat the eggs? They have only been...

    fertilized eggs

    Do people eat fertilized eggs? I never really gave it much thought,since I really hadn't planned on eating my chickens eggs.
