Phosphorus Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Just wondered whether it would be okay to cook and eat an egg that my girl had been sitting on with her 5 fertile eggs for the last 12 days Finally thought I would take it away from her and leave her with just the hatching ones - not sure if the one that has been being incubated (but not fertile) is alright to eat as normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I wouldn't. It will have been kept warm, instead of at room temp . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 No. If its fertile (I think you mean it isn't) it will already have a half developed chick in it, and unfertile it will have gone off from the heat, and after 12 days its a bit long anyway.
