It does happen on occasion, but more from local farms than from supermarkets. Believe me, if you get an egg that has been fertilized - you know!

Imagine my surprise when one day, I cracked open an egg that was not only fertilized but the chick inside was nearly perfectly formed. It was dead. And it was in my bowl. To this day I cringe when I crack open eggs. And, I won't buy eggs from farms anymore. For some reason, my mind has tricked itself into thinking that that wouldn't happen with grocery store eggs.

We did have 2 roosters that were suppose to grow up to be chickens. We didn't kill them once we found that they didn't conform like they should have. We never did get any eggs with chicks inside though. I wonder if it was because we collected eggs every other day? Not sure. I knew, but that’s just because I was raised on a chicken farm.

We've got three hens sitting on unfertilized eggs now (we had three clutches hatch last year, so we have quite enough canaries for now, thank you). Egg laying depends on light-dark cycle and nutritional state of the hen. Yeah, I’m not surprised either, but we’ve been raising canaries on and off for decades.

I collect them from my three little hens... and there's not a rooster for miles around. Chickens make good pets. Just like canaries, except I don't have to keep them in the house.

BTW, you don't have to keep canaries in the house, either. The first hen we got, back in North Carolina where we went to grad school, was from a breeder who kept his flock in a shed in the back yard. He had a wire mesh running from the ground to the edge of the roof, so the birds could either fly around the outside of the shed or in through the window to the inside. He heated it in the winter just enough to keep the drinking water from freezing. I’ll bet they don’t sing as well as canaries, though I’ll grant you that chicken eggs are larger.

Speaking of cloaca, you know that EVERYTHING comes out of ONE hole on a chicken. They clean 'em up real nice for you at the grocery store. Add me to the list of chicken farmers. We have 12.

We have 3 chickens after my sons school hatched eggs from a local farm, you would be surprised how many people think that you have to have a rooster to get hens to lay eggs, my neighbour wont believe me and says I wont get eggs with my 3 hens! You could eat a fertilised egg soon after it has been laid and never know it, its just a few more cells. I knew, I knew!
