Now the roosters can really screw this situation up. They come on to the hens and suddenly those eggs you were about to have for breakfast become fertilized and little chickens are now in these eggs and we cannot, and should not, be eating those eggs.

Negatory, good buddy.

Chicks in eggs don't grow that fast. It takes 21 days for the chicks to grow in the eggs. As long as you harvest the eggs within a week of being fertilized and put it into the fridge, you'll be fine.

I've eaten fertilized duck eggs. They were harvested within a day or so of being laid. I put it into the fridge and there was no embryo.

Candle the eggs before cracking and if you don't see blood spots, it's fine to eat.
