FAQ SELECTED QUESTIONS OUR CUSTOMERS ASKED US

The fact that an egg is not just an egg is evident from some of the inquiries that come from our customers. Several factors give rise to questions, and in this section we offer some answers. Fertilized eggs Customers should not encounter fertilized eggs as all male chicks are removed when sorting the hatched chicks. However, in organic production, there is still a view that the presence of a rooster in the flock is good for the general welfare. Sometimes blood in the yolk will lead consumers to believe that the egg is fertilized, but this is not the case. The phases of a fertilized egg are quite distinctive. It takes 21 days to hatch an egg. See pictures.
