Question

if it never happened to you, do you think it happened to somebody else? and while you're at it, can you please check my 360 page and tell me what u think? thanks

Answer 1

There is a process that farmers use to check for fertilized eggs:

1. They go into a nearly dark room.
2. They cut a hole in the side of a covered shoebox.
3. They slide the egg into the middle of the box.
4. They partially put a flashlight into the hole and turn it on.

A silhouette of the embryro is visible on the side of the box. With this process, farmers ensure fertilized eggs go back to their mothers and unfertilized ones fetch a good profit at the local market. Of course, the embryo may only be recognizable for the first 2-3 weeks in its egg. If a farmer leaves an egg out of the process and makes fried eggs with it, the chick may already be dead from loss of incubation from its mother for too long, or it will die from organ immaturity, or it may simply die from being burnt. Of course, if a customer at a market runs into the above issue, the chick will already be dead from exposure to the cold air of a fridge during its time in an egg.

I buy my eggs from a co op farmers market, so they are not processed...and yep, one day I was making Banana chocolate chip pancakes, cracked teh egg and there was a chick inside.. sad

Answer 3

FDA Regulations require that eggs in the US be checked and graded. This means that special equipment is used, along with personell, to check each egg and make sure that it does not have an embryo.

Answer 4

No that's never happened to me but sometimes there's sperm. So about your 360 page, I think your just trying to show off that you got to go to the bahamas. So good for you.
