Eewww! I had to look. I used to have nightmares about that. I still won’t eat hardboiled eggs.

We had layers when I was a teenager. We had about 300 hens. I asked dad once why there were no roosters and he said that laying houses don’t need them or keep them because too many people were dumping baby chicks into frying pans. Grossed me out!

It’s double gross to think that people intentionally do it!

You Dad might have explained the frying pan thing a bit more thoroughly. With roosters in the hen house a lot of the eggs get fertilized which creates an egg with a tiny embryo in the yolk. In a fresh egg that embryo is just a spec but some folks don’t like to see that spec in their easy over. Others don’t care and scramble them anyway. That’s where the “fried baby chicks” comes from. But with no roosters-—no specs.
