Is there any difference in the nutritional value of fertilised and unfertilised eggs?
Do chickens need to mate in order to produce eggs, or can they lay eggs without fertilization?
Chickens can lay eggs without mating or fertilization. These eggs are commonly referred to as "table eggs" and are the type of eggs that we find in grocery stores and restaurants. Fertilized eggs, on the other hand, require a rooster to fertilize the hen's egg before it is laid.
