My dumb question.....

[FarmerGrant011]

So.... I have two roosters with 6 hens ( about to be 1 roo with 4 hens) and my mom is telling me that you can't eat eggs that have been fertilized. I SWEAR I saw somewhere that you can... and I dont just want an answer from google, but I want peoples' opinions on eating fertilized eggs... And does it matter when you get the eggs? My girls are still pullets even though the oldest is SEVEN MONTHS OLD and is just lazy

Yes you can eat fertilized eggs

Some of my girls didn't begin laying until 9 months. I hope yours lay soon!

Fertilized eggs are just as yummy as non-fertile ones. As long as the eggs are removed daily, eat 'em up!

You really can't tell the difference. Try 'em with hollandaise.

Wondering where your Mom got such an idea? Yes they taste exactly the same. Delicious!

They taste the same, eggs,yummy eggs.
