ketchup kind of blends what? What are y'all talking about? you don't eat fertilized eggs? OMG! I sell them. I eat them. I'm a wee bit panicky right now.
I should be looking for fertilization under my silkie who has 10 eggs tucked under her? Oh boy..I've definitely dropped the ball here

Kidding Sandy. I check for bullseyes as I'm baking or doing quiche or something. Once they start to develop I let them go the whole way!

If yu don't look it don't matter . Always figured it was part of the "farm fresh eggs" experience we all talk about . Kinda like unpasteurized milk . Luck

I don't mind fertilised at all. I just don't eat any I've started incubating.

I don't use an incubator here just hens guess that's the difference . Once she goes to settin I don't touch her or the eggs till she hatches or leaves um . Mother Nature knows best in my setup . Luck
