Afraid to eat eggs now.....

I keep my roosters separate unless I want to hatch eggs. I understand your feelings, though! I'm not worried myself, but it does feel strange eating something that has potential to become a living thing.

Stay way from the peeps tho!

If eggs are collected everyday then zero chance of embryo. Is it the idea that it may be fertile? Get rid of your rooster if that is what stopping you.

X2 I love this post! You can either cull/rehome the rooster or simply separate him if you don’t want to hatch eggs right now.

That is a great point...do you even HAVE a rooster? If not then there is literally NO POSSIBLE way for there to be chicks developing in the eggs.

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!

It will pass.

Wait... So you’re afraid of “accidentally” eating an already developing embryo?? Or the fact that the egg was fertile and could’ve hatched a chick??

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

Just the fact that an egg becomes a chick.
I get it.
I was disgusted once too.
It will pass.
