Why can you not eat fertilized eggs that you don't want to set?  Personal preference?

All mine are fertile...they eat just fine....hopefully they hatch well too...

I have several thoughts on that subject, but I will simply say that it wasn't something that I rushed into trying. Then again, I had never had fresh eggs until I got chickens. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever saw an adult chicken until I got chickens!

Someone finally gets it! That's why I use that every night before bed ... And before attempt to get to bed!

I have an ex SIL who won't eat unpasteurized eggs; no fresh from the hen. Takes all kinds....
