Chicken eggs are not fertilized. That's why. They are not abortions.

And vegans dont eat them because eggs are animal product, fertilized or not. its not a gotcha and its not a double standard. Which is why the question doesnt work even if you switch it up...

Another misnomer. The egg itself is not proof of fertilization or not, you fucking dunderhead.

3 proofs of fertilization:

  • Formation of the Egg

  • Distinguishing Both by Candling

  • Distinguishing Both by Breaking Them

  1. A hen can keep laying eggs despite mating with the rooster. A hen can go on laying eggs even if the rooster is not involved. These eggs are unfertilized eggs. This means these eggs will never hatch. But when a rooster mates with a hen, the hen can go on laying fertilized eggs. A fertilized egg has a potential of hatching some day into a chick.

  2. Candling: If an egg appears opaque to you, then it is a fertilized chicken egg.

  3. Break them open: If you observe a white spot or a white ring in the egg yolk, (yellow part) then the egg is fertilized. If you don’t see any white formation in the center of the egg yolk, then it is not a fertilized egg. A fertilized egg can also show tiny red lines running along the surface of the egg yolk. These signs show that the embryo is present in the egg.

Now apply what you googled (and hopefully learned) to your original moroinic statement. - [" Chicken eggs are not fertilized. That's why. They are not abortions "]

See where you went wrong, apologize and then don't do it again. (learn from your mistakes)

Chicken eggs are not fertilized.

This is a common misconception. Chicken eggs do not immediately begin to develop when fertilized. They have to be incubated (heated) to start the development process. Most commercially produced eggs are not fertilized, but a lot of them are. Some egg producers think having roosters around increases egg production, and from my experience I concur. Here at the Sunshine Ranch all of the eggs we eat are fertilized. I have a friend who has even hatched eggs from the supermarket, including Leghorns from large commercial producers. You just need to check to see if they are fertilized before trying to incubate them. There is a little white thing on the yolk. If it looks like a blob or booger, the egg is not fertilized. If it looks like a perfect doughnut, the egg is fertilized.

This explains it fairly well:

That's what that white spot is...huh. Interesting.
