This might seem like a stupid question - If I did get a rooster and we continued to eat our eggs like we do - would they all have a little red in them? That would certainly freak my wife out and she wouldn't want to eat them and to be honest with you I would rather not have that either - but then again all the cool things I read about having a rooster - I kind of really want one, we live in the country and could pull it off - and my dad says the ladies would be happier if they had a man around. I look foward to the responses on this one.
It wouldn't be red it would have a white round dot in the yolk. I have a roo and I still eat my eggs.
the difference from a infertile, and fertile egg,, is 1 cell you'd have to look hard to see a difference
As long as they are not givin a chance to develop, the eggs are just the same in taste and looks to the naked eye. Actually, I've always been told that a fertile egg is better for you. I have roosters around to keep my hens in line and I have never noticed a difference and I sell my extra eggs as well. Michael
You will be able to eat them (extra protein). They won't show red, but it really depends on the stage of the egg.
ok i have learned alot. thanks. not a big deal i can see, and yes I heard they were better for you to. now I have to research roosters! It will be a fun thing to research this winter. thanks.
