Damn you went in on it without realizing you were wrong from the jump. Eggs are laid without fertilization

They would have been fertilized if they weren’t picked by humans.

Not unless the hen mated with a rooster first. They lay regularly whether their eggs are fertilized or not. We only eat the unfertilized ones

How do you know which ones are fertilized and which ones aren’t?

I've never done this myself, but I heard you can shine a flashlight through the egg to see if there's an embryo inside. Results depends on how early or late into the growing process it is. The easiest thing to do is just keep the roosters and the hens separated so you know they're all unfertilized.

Well for the record I’m sure these eggs in the photo weren’t fertilized. That doesn’t mean i think eggs still count as vegetarian.

Yeah you got me. The original thought still holds up. Eggs are meat

How would they get fertilized when the hens have zero access to roosters? No males=no sperm=no fertilization.
Did you also know that human women “lay eggs” absent fertilization? It’s called a period. Not sure I’ve ever seen someone so sure while being so wrong.

Yes i was aware. It’s still an animal product that was designed for something else.
