It sounds like a scam since an egg comes from an animal and therefore can't be vegetarian.

They are fed on a vegetarian diet. Unfortunately, people got the brilliant idea that some animals (usually vegetarian animals) would produce better meat if they ate other animal by-products. (This is where mad cow disease came from...they were grinding up other cows and feeding it to them.) They did something similar with chickens. It's not natural. Buy free range, vegetarian fed eggs only. It's the only way to teach those businesses how people were supposed to eat animals!
These other people misread your question. I know what you are talking about...they ARE real eggs. They are thinking about the egg-beaters type stuff.

They are from chickens that are not fed with any animal products or byproducts, and therefore OK for vegetarians to eat.
After all, there are several different types of vegetarians. There are some that don't mind eating eggs, milk, and cheese, and there are others (vegans) who abstain from all animal products.
In most chicken feed, there is meat and bone meal. In vegetarian feed, there is no meat or bone meal (animal byproducts), only grains.

Edit: A lot of people misread your question, and assumed that you were talking about eggs that did not contain actual egg.

Lacto Ovo Vegetarians eat eggs and dairy. So I should think most chicken eggs would be ok.
Vegans do not eat eggs or dairy.
I am not sure the egg yolk is a chicken fetus unless it is fertilized, then it would have blood in it and wouldn't be kosher. Also it would be gross.

Im a vegatarian,not a vegan. I eat brown,vegatarian,roam free hen,eggs,than I use the egg white only as the yellow is a chicken fetus. I wasnt aware of non-animal eggs? The egg beaters are real eggs,just mostly whites.

From what I know, they are eggs without and embryo ( an unfertilized egg that carries no life inside that comes from only female chickens).

they either mean lacto-ovo veg, but not lacto veg or vegan eggs (which is pretty dumb). If they are lacto veg or vegan, then they are probably colored tofu or something.
