Eggs for hatching AND eating?

[Ally Rose]

I thought eggs for eating weren't fertile eggs, but I was searching for white mallard eggs and found a site that said, "These eggs are for hatching or eating" Do people eat fertile eggs, or does this site think you can hatch infertile eggs? Im confused. Please help!

Lots of people eat fertile eggs. Nothing will develop unless it's incubated by a heat source. There isn't any nutritional difference or taste difference.

up there is the site that i saw it on. Tell me what you think, and should I get my eggs here? its the only place I can find a small amount of white mallard eggs.

They look a little hatcheryish and if they were into breeding I would expect more pictures of the parent stock. They are a tad bit pricey but if they are truly good stock I'd say go for it. However, if you ever decide to keep the ducks when they mature, you can get a pair of White Mallard with good body type from Holderreads for 50 a pair+ shipping.
