Eating Fertile Eggs

[LocoPollo]

Believe it or not, half(or mostly)incubated eggs are a delicacy in the Phillippines. Definitely not for me though!!

To me, even more disturbing than what end they come from is what they ARE.

They are, after all, the reproductive waste product....a chicken's version of a woman's monthly cycle. But still, I eat eggs.....fertile or not.

Think of the conversation years ago.....

Person one-- Hey Roy, That birds got so weard lookin poop?

Person two-- Hummmm. Bet we could eat that.....

Person one-- Maybe, let me go get it. Here, hold my beer!

I dont know about that, they ARE the reproductive product. not the waste. And no, you are not getting a dollop of rooster semen, yuk! but the result of hen cell and rooster cell meeting and dividing. just a small blob of cells.

Well, if it isn't fertile is is waste......our eggs aren't waste until left unfertilized either.

And I just really enjoy making people sick saying that.

The difference between a fertile egg and a non fertile egg is only one single cell.

Some friends of mine have a couple of not-so-cute nicknames for eggs:

They call them "Chicken Periods" or "Bum Nuts."

Good thing eggs are so delicious...

Our red star, Cinnamon, lays large eggs everyday. since day one(her first tiny pullet egg that she layed at 13-18 weeks) she has been laying fertile eggs. every egg of hers that i crack open has that large circle germinal spot in it.

I didn't know that even her very first pullet egg could be fertile!

we eat them anyways. all it is is some cells, like some people said. I don't thnk that the taste changes at all, does it?


Ew I have heard of half-batored eggs!

My step-dad once was eating some hard-boiled eggs and he bit into one and there was a chick in it!

Nasty!
