Eating fertile eggs?

[huntermac0615]

I bought four chickens at one week old and one of them turned out to be a rooster. I originally got chickens for the sole purpose of having fresh eggs, Is it ok to eat eggs that have been fertilized?

 

[ShinShien]

I eat fertilized eggs. I don't eat fertilized eggs that've been incubated.

 

[huntermac0615]

ok, do you have to collect them right away?

 

[ShinShien]

i collect eggs once a day, but not immediately.

Fertilized eggs need to be kept at temps of ~100 degrees F for at least 24 hours before they will start to develop.
They are fine to eat if kept from getting that warm, collecting once a day is what I do also.
