Chicken eggs

[Dan 4RR]

Errm bit of a strange one, but if a chicken lays an egg, then how does the egg change from been a egg that we eat with yolk, etc to a baby chic?

The eggs you eat are mostly unfertilized battery eggs.

Occasionally you might find a small black speck in a free range egg. This is a fertilized egg.

Didn't you do the birds and the bees at school?

It often crosses my mind when I'm eating/cooking eggs, and something I try not to think about to be honest.

We find it bizzare that people in other cultures eat bugs/worms/dogs etc. We even frown on them.
But, is it any more peverse than eating the unfertalized remains of a baby chicken?

Is an ejected egg not effectively.....dare I say it....... a chickens 'period'?

Does the egg come out of the fanny or the actual arse of the chicken?

These are things I would otherwise never ask were it not for an internet forum.

So how do we get eggs without the chiks inside of them? Splain!

[Whosthedaddy]

Its just an unfertilised egg.

You could of course eat a fertilised egg if you want. In the Phillipines they call them Balut

I realy can't believe you asked this question, did you not do basic biology at school? Is it any wonder there are so many teenage pregnancies

If you want to use an extremely oversimplified comparison between the completely different reproductive systems of birds and mammals, then yes, in some sort of twisted way, an egg that we eat is a chicken's 'period'

However, to think of it in that way is a bit wrong, since birds don't have periods. The Menstrual cycle in humans is still a little bit of a mystery, and there's not (as far as I know) any single piece of conclusive evidence as to it's purpose. That being said, there is a lot of evidence supported by scientists suggesting that menstruation is designed to ensure the womb and reproductive areas are kept a clean and environmentally effective place for a baby to develop. The conditions in the womb among other things are what determines when a female is right for reproduction.

Chickens, on the other hand, through many generations of breeding, produce eggs pretty much constantly, with the chance that one of them will have become fertilised at some point.

So yes, there are parallels between menstruation and eggs but it's not a practical way of comparing them.

I always thought chickens just layed eggs on their own but someone told me a cockrel has to screw them to make eggs. Which is it?

Isn't there also something about them hatching male or female depending on when temperature they are incubated?
