Afraid to eat eggs now.....

[HuffleClaw]

Eating eggs disgust him/her right now because they could (if fertile and incubated) become a living animal.

Ohhh okay, I get it now! It’s personally never happened to me. But I think I’m understanding now, thanks Kiki!!

After hatching my little boogers, I'm afraid to eat eggs now...... not store bought eggs but the ones my hen laid. I keep wanting to try out the eggs to see what it taste like, but I keep picturing the little runts inside those eggs and afraid to give it a go. Are you guys the same? How do I get over this fear and go for it?

Ne'r fear, they're just eggs! You crack carefully, cook, enjoy do you think about a cute little calf before eating a burger or the baby piglet your bacon strips came from?? As a matter of fact, do you eat chicken?
If you don't want the yummy butt nuggets I'll take them! My pullets are still just free loaders.

It's not the thought of the egg being fertilized that scares me..... it's just that I've recently hatched some chicks, and now that I've spent time caring and looking after them, I just can't imagine cracking open one of their siblings and eating it. It just feels weird to me because I keep seing their little faces staring at me every time I go to the fridge to open that door and thinking of eating it!

Aw, well you can become a vegan for the time being. I assume you don't eat adult chickens?

You could always go the liquid route
It'll pass, don't worry. Hang in there!

You've got three options with fertile eggs:

1. Hatch
2. Eat
3. Let someone else eat.

Option #1 cannot go on indefinitely. I'm sure #3 will work out if you can't bear #2.

Shamo darling I’m afraid it’s now official. You’ve snapped! You must seek out professional help for your eggaphobia. The hatchlings have scared you a psychologist can help you. See you at the intervention. Until then....snap out of it!!!

Embryos cannot develop without a broody hen to keep them consistently warm. If you collect the eggs every day there will be no chance of a mistake even if you have a broody. Only eggs under a broody for more than 24 hours will develop. Go for those delicious eggs!
