fertilized eggs

[Freak4Jesus]

Hi everyone! I am a new member and new chicken owner. Received 3 day old baby chicks at beginning of April. I ordered a black australorp, but, as the chickens are now 3 months old, I see that my "she" is probably a "He", crowing and sporting long tail feathers, and is not a autralorp, but a plymonth barred rock!!! Don't want to get rid of "HIM or "Her", but my husband thinks the eggs will be "gross" to eat. Any suggestions?

I think the eggs taste the same and look the same... Here is a link that talks about fertilized eggs: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=88 Hope it helps.
