Not sure where to put this... but cooking incubated eggs?

[Rin]

Is it safe to cook and eat an egg that has been set in an incubator for 5 days and determined for lack of veining to be infertile/duds? I cooked previous ones like this and fed them to the dog with no issue but this particular dozen I received - only two did anything and they may have failed. I just wonder if it's cool for me to boil the rest and eat them? If not, how about to my existing flock?

ahhhh, no. Those eggs have been sitting in a warm environment for five days and in my humble opinion should not be eaten. I wouldn't use them. Ewwww

Yea I mostly wasn't sure as they have a delicacy in china I believe. I forget what its called but basically eggs incubated far enough to have a full-chick in them before being boiled and eaten. I'd never eat that but these are eggs that didn't do squat so felt it was worth asking at least XD Basically figured it as the same as pulling your egg from the nest a lil later in the week rather than immediately. But hey :> good to know.

I Wouldn't......... now some people do eat eggs that are fertile and been incubated two week or longer.....

U ever open one of these non fertile egg after a week, can you say ROTTEN EGG

Gag. The thought of it is not worth the two bucks you'd save. Eggs can sit out at room temp and be good eating, not hot humid rainforest conditions like an incubator.

The incubated duck eggs you're thinking about is balut, a SE Asian thing.
