You can eat the fertile eggs with no worries. They won't start to develop unless incubated, either by a broody hen or in an incubator. Every single egg we eat in this house and all the ones I sell are fertile. There is no difference in taste, nutritional value or appearance, unless you look hard and know what you are looking for.

Just collect your eggs regularly and you'll not have any problems.

Gritsar is right. It took me a while to be able to spot a fertile egg from a non fertile egg. Collect the eggs everyday and you will not have any surprises.
