Ron, did you read his post?
I don't see the difference it makes whether the egg is laid or not.
I miss the point where it is necessary to kill the hen to retrieve an egg just a few hours younger then a laid egg.

I think he wants the un developed eggs from the ovaries. Usually when a hen is processed, there will be quite a few of them that are getting bigger:

A quick google search found a Vietnamese recipe for ovaries and hearts. Likely a cultural thing:

Spoiler: ovaries

OK, so I did not take offence and I have my own opinions on this and I am only really posting because this may aid others reading this thread and who may be confused by the request.

This is an interesting read but does contain some graphic pictures of a chickens internals so you have been warned but nothing we probably have not already seen at some stage or other : http://www.khiewchanta.com/archives/ingredients/meats-fish-eggs/premature-chicken-eggs-khai-aw.html

Awesome...thanks you for sharing this link!

There are dozens of recipes that use them, but the problem is small supply big demand and they are a real pain to harvest, clean, chill, and get to delivery point. The link I gave him above will lead to folks who'll process up to 400 three year old layers in a day. They generally refer to them as two year olds but what they mean is two full years of laying.
