Joey the Trader Joe's Chick (from a "Fertile" egg)

[JefafaSB]

My family eats fertilized eggs every day, no harm here. If anything you might see a blood spot smaller than a pin head. This can be caused by the egg being fertile and or the momma hen being stressed. I know my eggs are safer than store bought eggs because I know what my chickens eat.

one questions when you bought these eggs were they in an egg carton in the refrigerator? and for how long? n another question do you think all natural eggs are fertilized ?

[themadscientest]

you should try to get a return

[huggabelchick]

@themadscientest 0_0 i can imagen that a person walking in and puting an chicken on the counter and saying ''this is what i got for one of your eggs i wanna return it '' then the guy at the counter faits.

[themadscientest]

@huggabelchick they would have to accept it without a question i kno this cuz my mom works at trader joes!

So what does this mean? Are TJ eggs safe to eat?

[robbdogr]

@Bobster986

Yes, the eggs are safe to eat. Generally, most people would not be able to tell they were fertile unless the eggs were incubated. Also, in the stores, eggs are normally infertile unless labeled fertile.

Anyway, until industrialized farming took over in the 20th century, everyone ate fertilized eggs from small flocks with roosters around.

omg usually refrigerated fertile eggs dont hatch!!! lol thats cool

[intelligentjackass]

If they're fresh enough, they will. They don't have a very high hatch rate- 50 to 75 percent, but it has been done many times before.
