Fertilized eggs aren't a chicken either though...
Nobody eats fertilized eggs. The eggs we buy in cartons from the grocery store are unfertilized. The hen factory those eggs originate trom has no males anywhere near the ladies.
It is the rooster's job to fertilize the egg by inserting its sperm into the hen's cloaca during mating. In reality, the process of fertilization is more complex than this brief summary suggests. The journey of the rooster's sperm within the hen is rather arduous until it finally reaches the eggs and fertilizes them.
You're naive as hell lol
I eat fertilized eggs quite frequently. At least I assume that most of them are. (Free range chickens, 6 hens and a rooster)
But no one wants to eat them because they're fertilized.
Clearly you haven't been travelling through Asia.
I'm sorry, but if you're gonna use countries like China which have a dish literally called "virgin boy eggs" and consists of eggs and urine, i dont think you have room to talk.
I didn't even mention China, you know Asia is a continent with many countries, right?
You can find information about fertilized eggs pretty easily and the first thing that pop ups on a search online is not "virgin boy eggs" but something called Balut. Well, maybe with your search history it does, but that's not my problem.
Have a look here if you are still open to expand your Asian horizon: https://www.seriouseats.com/asian-eggs-salt-cured-century-balut-tea-egg
Ok...
The chick doesn't form instantly. If you get the eggs daily then fertilized eggs are indistinguishable from store bought unfertilized ones. Even if you wait a week or so, at most there's just like a brown spec the size of a peppercorn.
