Eggs are technically chicken’s periods when you think about it.
Wait really? That's so interesting. So eggs you buy at the store aren't fertilized? (Not sure if that's the right word but ykwim)
Correct. You can get fertilized ones too. Look up balut. Or don't.
That don't is a weak recommendation to not look it up, depending on the person it can be terrible to look at
Typical mass market eggs are unfertilized, but eggs from smaller scale or hobby farms are usually fertilized. On a small scale, it's easier to keep the hens safe from wildlife with a rooster around, but on a large scale they're just a waste of feed. If you're curious, fertilized eggs have a tiny red dot in the egg white.
The hens are more relaxed with a rooster around, too, so they are good to have if you care about animal welfare. Just wish people stopped buying them in residential areas.
Some countries sell packs of chicken offal, and you can see what the eggs look like before they get far enough along in the bird to have a shell
