I have a hen and a rooster, the hen has been laying fertilized eggs I stopped collecting around 2 1/2 weeks ago. Now, there are about 15 eggs in her nest, the hen has not gone broody. I dont want the eggs to go to waste, and I decided I want to eat these eggs, not hatch them. I do not know which eggs are older, or which ones were recently laid.
will a fertilized egg that is laid and not sat on by a broody hen, still be viable for eating if it was left in the nest for around two weeks? is it likely a partially developed chick will be there if they were never sat on or should i be safe with using them?
Also regarding the temperature, they are southern CA temps, 65 -75 degrees day and night.
thanks
