Look, I am very interested in this. But, I really came here for the pictures of fat enormous cocks.  Moar pics! Also, I heard chickens need to eat gravel/limestone to have hard egg shells. Is this true? Jenner fucked around with this message at 10:02 on Jan 26, 2012 |

Okay so, question. What do you guys do about fertilized eggs? Seeing as you have a rooster that is fertile and does some boning. How do you handle them to make sure there aren't a bunch of chicks? Are fertilized eggs edible?

I feel like an idiot because I don't know this poo poo, I'm sorry for the derp question there. So, if you had a fertilized egg you wouldn't be able to tell it was fertilized when you cracked it to eat it? I'm completely okay with eating babies but am weirded out by the thought of visible embryoness looking breakfast were I to start doing this for myself. Do home-raised eggs actually have less cholesterol? I heard this somewhere and I'm curious about the fact to it. It doesn't seem to me the nutritional components of an egg would alter that much just from a change in environment.

Chido posted:I don't know about cholesterol, but you can tell if an egg is fertilized because you can see a tiny mass of cells on the yolk. they look like a lighter color spot. I hope this is not image leeching, I'm linking a picture I found to tell the difference. Oh awesome, you couldn't even tell unless you were really looking for it! ON WITH THE BABY EATING!  I want to one day get enough land to actually do this now because Chido's chickens look so sweet and cute  (I bet they're utter monsters!) Thank you all for answering my questions.

Besides the fact that you have an adorable big fluffy chicken and gain the potential of fertilized eggs and adorable baby chicks is there a point to having a rooster?

Chido posted:Edit: forgot to add, we did the bandaging late in the afternoon so Roo would go to sleep soon afterwards. As soon as we let him go, he ran to the run... and chased and tried to furiously sit on as many hens as he could catch. WTF Roo, I just tried to cut your foot open and you suddenly wanted to sit on everything? You emasculated him, he had to recuperate his machismo.
