If I have a rooster will I still be able to eat the hens eggs?

Please help! I don't want to end up with a baby chick in my scrambled eggs

Yes you can. Just collect your eggs regularly and you won't know the difference.

 

[Kitty135]

But could a chick even start to develop in a day or two?

 

[ChickyLaura]

x2. I've been doing it for 2 years! You won't even be able to tell the difference.

you can check on the incubating pages about the time for development. But I don't think you see anything but blood vessels even after 3-4 days. And that's only at the right temp. If no hen setting on them, won't develop.

if you are unsure how long an egg has been laid, crack it in a bowl. if no surprises, eat it.

Phew! What a relief. Thanks a ton!!

Incubation temp is around 100 degrees. I've never seen a developing chick in an egg, and I sometimes collect only at the end of the day, and temps certainly get to 100 around here.

But I still crack them into a bowl before adding to anything, even the frying pan.

I keep getting the OPPOSITE question from people. How can you have eggs with no rooster?! Sheesh. Did anyone take health class?

Off topic, but it looks like a Corgi (sp?).
